The Homeland Security department, which overseas the TSA, said it would begin enforcing a post-Sept. 11 law that directs federal agencies to only accept state-issued identifications that meet federal security standards that were enacted in 2005.
Most states have either adopted the more secure driver's licenses, known as REAL IDs, or have plans to do so later this year. But Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, Washington state and American Samoa have not moved to make their driver's licenses compliant with the new federal standard, meaning airline passengers from those states will have to present other forms of identification at TSA checkpoints.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Friday that states will have two years to bring their driver's licenses and identifications up to code before the new mandate takes effect."

But if you were asked to provide your real id for voting it would be racist, unconstitutional and lead to global warming.
If we don't have good IDs they can't be sure exactly who managed to get past TSA with guns and explosive 96 out of 100 times.
With better ID's maybe there's a good chance another Obama won't bamboozle everybody and become president ;)
States need REAL ID, but people entering the country can put down fake addresses.
Ampersand ftw...three-way tie for second :)
