Why do you need a real ID if you have a passport?

So I don't have to take a hard to replace passport on every domestic air trip.

I have a feeling that a ton of people are gonna find themselves unable to clear airport security come May, 2023 because they don’t seem to grasp the details of what will be required going forward.

Airports are just the start. Real ID will be required to access federal facilities including military bases, courthouses, SSA offices, nuclear power plants, etc...

Will passports be allowed as identification for flying domestically in the future? I thought you did not need a real ID if you had a passport (and did not mind bringing it when traveling domestically).

In general, most people live blissfully unaware of shit. It’s crazy, but a fact. Come May, this will be a shit show. And, you are definitely correct that airports are just the start, but it will be the most high visibility one: the TSA screens about 2 million people each day.
