Without a special Real ID driver's license or card, airline passengers will be required to present a passport, military ID or Global Entry card to pass through security, even for domestic flights, starting in October.
WASHINGTON — The nation's airports are warning of chaos for passengers if the White House doesn't postpone the looming Real ID deadline.
The Airports Council International-North America, which represents the nation's airports, warned that thousands of passengers could be denied boarding and left stranded."If the government doesn't make a definitive statement now that they're going to extend this, then we're going to have a real crisis on our hands come Oct. 1," he said.
To handle the rush, state motor vehicle offices have staffed up and are allowing people to make appointments to present their documents for review.Sue Fulton, chief administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, said,"Demand outstrips the number of available Real ID appointments." Kaiya Arroyo, standing in line at a Manhattan DMV office Tuesday, said:"It's packed in there. The line is out the door. People are very upset, frustrated."
