My fellow Americans, does the requirement of real ID to travel by plane bother you?

I was gonna ask this under travel but I realized this affects more than just traveling.

So now we need Real ID to travel by plane here in USA. It will be enforced in all states soon if not yet. If you are not eligible to get real ID you can get passport but that will require additional payment. I wonder how many people might have a hard time acquiring that too? How will this impact businesses? How will this affect lifestyles, people wanting to see their love ones, etc.

Again, for technical reasons, even if you're a citizen, not everyone is eligible to get Real ID.
It feels like less-than-whole-citizenship, perhaps second class citizenship even.

Our airports have to be safe and secure... Israel keeps their airports much better than USA.

@Stereoguy Exactly my friend... the only reason anyone should care is the inconvenience of having to go back and get the “real ID”. Otherwise legit people should have no problem whatsoever... unless of course they want to see a couple of more planes hijacked and flew into buildings....
