Will you be able to fly from today if you don't have a REAL ID? Here's what U.S Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem said

REAL ID travel rule is now in effect, and if you’re planning to fly within the U.S., this update could impact your airport experience. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed that while travelers without a REAL ID won’t be turned away, they should expect extra screening and possible delays. As of this week, TSA won’t accept non-compliant state IDs at checkpoints. With the final enforcement deadline set for May 7, 2025, it’s important to understand what’s changing and how to avoid hassles.
