Papers, Comrade!

We just finished up the passport applications.  Grump.

I wonder how long until we need them for internal travel.  Homeland inSecurity has been threatening to disallow Maine driver's licenses as federal ID for several years now . . .

At least the sun has come out.

in the UK older driving licenses don't have a photo - so since you need photo ID to board even an internal flight (ever since 11/9/01), some people need a passport to fly internally.

Just wait until you have the official ones and they don't work for some reason and you are detained forever...

I understand Floridians have to go through border checkpoints driving north from the Keys.

Same with Illinois. I took my passport along the last few times I flew, just in case.

I haven't heard much about a national ID or drivers license tweakage since the new administration took over, so I don't know where it stands.
