Oh great. First the damn govt decides we have to get a new drivers license to be passengers on airlines... then they screwed it up for the first 3.6 million "Real ID" they issued!

Over the next several months, California’s Department of Motor Vehicles plans to send letters to 3.6 million customers who received Real ID cards prematurely.

Federal law requires Californians to have that kind of ID by Oct. 1, 2020 to board airplanes or enter federal facilities without a passport. Department of Homeland Security officials determined earlier this year that the California DMV issued millions of cards without asking customers to provide a second proof of residency.
