Your guide
to getting
through the
line faster

Y
ou've mastered fi tting all your toiletries
into 3-ounce tubes, can untie your shoes
with one hand while balancing your
laptop in the other and know just how
to stand in the full-body scanner. But now, there's
another change coming to airport security.
Beginning on Jan. 22, 2018, the REAL ID Act,
which relates to minimum security standards for
driver's licenses and ID cards, will go into eff ect
at airports. Currently, 25 states are in compliance
with the requirements, while another 21 have
been granted an extension until either June or
October of this year. Maine, Minnesota, Missouri,
and Montana are currently noncompliant and
don't have extensions. Residents of states that
are not compliant by Jan. 22 will need to present
a passport, permanent residence card, enhanced
driver's license or other TSA-approved form of
identifi cation besides a driver's license or ID card
in order to fl y domestically.
