need for passport to board local flights

[markusdark]

Just an FYI for people who fly from chapter to chapter, starting in Jan 2018, residents in the following states will need to have a passport, permanent resident card/green card or a military ID to board a plane. The Real ID Act of 2005 states that state-issued IDs from these nine states do not meet the minimum security standards of the federal government:

• Kentucky
• Maine
• Minnesota
• Missouri
• Montana
• Oklahoma
• Pennsylvania
• South Carolina
• Washington

Figure should say it now to make sure your passports are up to date More info here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/lealan...ts-for-domestic-flights-in-2018/#2de466a96e59

I'm 99% sure New York is also one of those states where you don't need to provide proof of citizenship/country of origin to obtain your drivers license.

Most states have addressed this in various ways, either coming up to spec of offering an 'enhanced' license that does. Here's a link to a story about the MN license.
