RealID licenses cost extra where I live. Your job can buy you a plane ticket but they can't get you through TSA.

What he really means is illegals who have fake ids who now can't get RealIDs.

Flying domestically is usually cheaper than driving once you get past the range of a tank of gas or two. Also, RealID isn't fully permeated yet - my state won't fully phase out non-RealIDs until 2029.
