So much for my 15 seconds of fame with my Biometric Update guest post. Let’s move on to more important things.
Like the (finally!) enforcement of REAL ID at midnight EDT Wednesday May 7.
Not really.
We already knew that REAL ID enforcement wouldn’t be fully enforced.
“This rule ensures that Federal agencies have appropriate flexibility to implement the card-based enforcement provisions of the REAL ID regulations after the May 7, 2025, enforcement deadline by explicitly permitting agencies to implement these provisions in phases….The rule also requires agencies to coordinate their plans with DHS, make the plans publicly available, and achieve full enforcement by May 5, 2027.”
And Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem just confirmed this.
“’If it’s not compliant, they may be diverted to a different line, have an extra step, but people will be allowed to fly,’ Noem said at a U.S. House hearing on Tuesday. ‘This is a security issue.’”
So when WILL it be enforced? Memorial Day? Thanksgiving? May 5, 2027? Ever?
Of course, it’s not going to be easy for those without a passport, REAL ID, or other acceptable form of identification. They will undergo a little investigation, humiliation, and if they cross their fingers rehabilitation.
