Do You Really Need a REAL ID to Fly in the US? Breaking Down the Myths

from Shared Security Podcast · host Tom Eston, Scott Wright, Kevin Johnson

Join us as we discuss the long-awaited implementation of the REAL ID Act in the U.S. We cover the essentials you need to fly, the potential benefits of using your passport, and how new mobile IDs fit into the TSA's plans. We also discuss the broader implications for identity surveillance and who truly benefits from these security upgrades. We also discuss the problems faced by individuals with name changes and the challenges they face with REAL IDs. Plus, we explore the political and social ramifications of such security measures and why this might all just be 'security theater.'
