If You Live in One of These States You’ll Soon Need a Passport for Domestic Flights
September 18, 2015
(ANTIMEDIA) To comply with the 2005 Real ID Act, which the U.S. government has been slowly implementing for the past decade, citizens in a number of different U.S. states will now be forced to obtain a passport if they want to board an airplane — even for domestic flights.
The Department of Homeland Security and representatives with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection have declined to comment on why certain states have been singled out, but starting in 2016, residents of New York, Wisconsin, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and American Samoa will need a passport to fly domestically. All other states will still be able to use their state-issued driver’s licenses and IDs — for now, at least.
According to the Department of Homeland Security’s guidelines on enforcement of the Real ID Act,
“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on December 20, 2013 a phased enforcement plan for the REAL ID Act (the Act), as passed by Congress, that will implement the Act in a measured, fair, and responsible way.
Secure driver’s licenses and identification documents are a vital component of our national security framework. The REAL ID Act, passed by Congress in 2005, enacted the 9/11 Commission’s recommendation that the Federal Government ‘set standards for the issuance of sources of identification, such as driver’s licenses.’ The Act established minimum security standards for license issuance and production and prohibits Federal agencies from accepting for certain purposes driver’s licenses and identification cards from states not meeting the Act’s minimum standards. The purposes covered by the Act are: accessing Federal facilities, entering nuclear power plants, and, no sooner than 2016, boarding federally regulated commercial aircraft.read on at ...

Umm, Alrik, I absolutely stand behind anyone who wants to tell truth. A noble thing. I don't have to agree with anyone to defend their right to tell it. I agree the Jesuits are part of world domination.
You said this, " When the whole world blames JEWS or MUSLIMS ?". Yes, there are folks that hate an entire people, but i think you may be lumping in folks that are antiZionist. Not all Zionists are Jews, not all Jews are Zionist.
List the international bankers that own our Federal Reserve, the dual Israeli citizens in our government, and nearly all the so called elite...if you are a believer, go all the way back to Genesis....tell me what those names have in common.

Wow, thanks Maria ! This surely can't be part of anything good. They want complete control over the skies, each state will probably do the same. They want us all to take the national ID card, wasn't that supposed to be implemented soon? Seems they passed it last year.
Thanks Maria, sharing this.
