TSA quietly updates domestic flight Real ID requirements
The Real ID went into effect on May 7 but the flying public still has questions.
A few years ago, I arrived at LAX early in the morning to catch my flight home to Nevada. While standing in the TSA PreCheck line, I discovered I didn't have my wallet; I'd left it on the kitchen counter at my friend's house.
Panic set in.
But then it dawned on me that there must be a way to get on the plane without an ID because...what if my wallet had been stolen? What if I had been robbed instead of just careless?
