TSA further explains in a press release on its website:“All airline travelers who use TSA ConfirmID will be subject to additional ID verification, screening measures and potential delays. The REAL ID Act was passed by Congress in 2005, at a time when biometrics were really in their infancy. Now, the technology has caught up with the government’s desire to track us 24/7 in real time. I expect Americans will soon be required to produce a REAL ID to do more than just board a plane, and the 6 percent of Americans who don’t have this national/digital ID will be fined into oblivion and harassed at every step. They shut down your mode of transportation now and worry about proving their case that you’re not a responsible driver later.
