Travelers Without REAL ID Facing Inconvenience: Others Feel the Strain | Tomi Lahren's Perspective
Heads Up: Real ID Deadline Approaches
Hey there! Get ready, folks, because May 7th, 2023 is the big day. Don't tell me you've been caught napping, the Real ID law's been lurking since 2005 and has had four extensions. That's right, it's time for action.
Here's my earnest plea for those who have yet to find their way to the DMV to secure their IDs—the ones with that little star in the corner—or those carrying outdated passports.
Are you listening?
By all means, stay home. Or, if you simply can't, please refrain from trying to board a domestic flight with anything less than a Real ID. Don't waste your time—and ours—bickering with the TSA. They won't pull any favors for latecomers. And for Pete's sake, don't delay or annoy those who've managed to get their IDs in order.
Contrary to popular belief, the Real ID isn't a plot from the "surveillance state." It's on par with a regular driver's license, passport, or voter ID. Let's get this straight: it's a minor inconvenience and a tiny extra cost, but it's part of being a citizen. Suck it up, buttercup.
You may dislike annual tax payments and car insurance renewals, but admit it—they're merely part of life.
And, to squash the rumors, the Real ID enforcement has nothing to do with the mask police. Sure, requesting a cloth diaper on passengers' faces was foolish and arbitrary, but proving your identity and presenting the necessary documents is a matter of national defense, not tyranny.
Feel free to voice your disagreement, but save it for the comfort of your own home... preferably not in the airport security line.
Remember:
- Real ID is a federal standard for state-issued IDs, identifiable by a star on the card.
- Deadline for enforcement at airports: May 7, 2023.
- Passengers 18 and older must present a Real ID-compliant ID or an accepted alternative for domestic flights. If not, they may face additional screening, delays, or even denied access to security checkpoints.
Your cooperation is appreciated. Happy flying, folks!
- Mark your calendars, on May 7th, 2023, the Real ID enforcement deadline is approaching, so don't delay your trip to the DMV.
- If you've been putting off renewing your ID, it's time to act now, especially if it doesn't bear the star in the corner or if your passport is outdated.
- The Real ID isn't some intrusive requirement from the 'surveillance state'; it's just like your regular driver's license, passport, or voter ID, albeit with a small extra hassle and expense.
- The Real ID enforcement doesn't share any similarities with the controversies surrounding mask mandates or arbitrary regulations; it's about securing national defense, not tyranny.
- Dealing with annual tax payments, car insurance renewals, or renewing documentation might seem like unwelcome chores, but they're essential aspects of personal-finance and wealth-management.
- The Real ID enforcement doesn't interfere with your business or lifestyle; you can still travel and manage your affairs smoothly as long as you comply with the Real ID regulations.
- So, before you complain about the Real ID deadlines, remember that it's as routine as renewing your passport, driver's license, or even travel insurance—just another part of the general-news cycle.
