Homeland Security folks are saying that citizens of any state that doesn't support RealId will have to present a Pass Port to take domestic AirLine flight or use a [National Park]. More than half the nation's state legislatures have passed or proposed legislation denouncing the (RealId) plan, and some have penned bills expressly forbidding compliance.
Sept6: [Chris Soghoian] notes that Passengers with tickets for domestic flights are under no obligation to present [ID] to TSA. Passengers may be required to show [ID] to airline employees, but that is a contractual matter between the airlines and their passengers. U.S. government employees cannot, however, require you to show [ID] in order to pass through the security checkpoints... The 9th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals clarified a passenger's right to travel without showing [ID] in its ruling in John Gilmore v. Alberto Gonzales.
