I used google translate to read it. According to that info, the new security is going to be implemented starting next year am I correct? Additional forms of ID other than Driver's license are going to be required for national flights?

I found more information on the topic....Looks like if your state at least offers REAL-ID compliant cards, they can apply for a waiver. Thus, your state ID (non-REAL ID) will remain valid by federal agencies until at least May 11,2011. I'm not sure if this includes national travel within the states, however.

Wisconsin, and all other states, received from the DHS an initial REAL ID compliance extension, until Dec. 31, 2009 Because of this extension, federal agencies will continue until Dec. 31, 2009, to accept Wisconsin driver's licenses and identification cards that are not REAL ID-compliant as proof of identity. After this date, if Wisconsin is not in material compliance with the requirements in the REAL ID Act, federal agencies will not accept Wisconsin driver's licenses and identification cards as proof of identity. However, if Wisconsin is in material compliance with REAL ID by Jan. 1, 2010, Wisconsin may request an additional extension that would allow postponement of full compliance until May 11, 2011 If such an additional extension were granted, although the DMV would have to begin issuing fully compliant REAL ID driver's licenses and identification cards by May 11, 2011, federal agencies would not require REAL ID-compliant driver's licenses and identification cards as proof of identity until Dec. 1, 2014 (for persons under age 50 on that date) or Dec. 1, 2017 (for all other persons)

Approach this with skepticism, have not seen this anywhere...anybody have time to research states legislature bills and dig through ?

Maybe this is actually a blessing in disguise........it seems to be partly true because it concerns Real ID requirements & some states have not requested an extension.Imagine every US citizen being required to carry a passport or proof of US citizenship to enter on a plane locally in the US or to enter federal buildings to pay taxes in a State that isn't compliant in this recession.A recent statistic I read said airtravel has been down 62% since the year 2000.....

Remember that Real ID was passed "to Issue Federal ID standards & prevent terrorism" but I don't think any lawmakers[mainly conservatives] really knew what that meant,until now !

It gives some prominence to the issue of immigration imo,it is not only "illegal immigrants" that suffer under the law no matter how "good" the intention perceivably.The early part of next year should be interesting as maybe there will be a general interest to actually LOOK at the issue seriously if even US citizens are affected !
