Episode notes
Real ID Enhances Security
- The Real ID Act aims to prevent terrorism by verifying identities more strictly after 9/11.
- Despite long delays and extensions, enforcement begins May 7, 2025, to enhance airport security.
Plan Ahead for Real ID
- Travelers without Real ID should arrive at airports earlier to allow extra screening time.
- Those traveling later in the year can wait to apply, as TSA will not turn people away immediately.

- Increased homeschooling numbers mean increased potential abuse cases, but not necessarily higher abuse rates.
