Edit: It's not completely enforced yet (the REAL ID aspect). Some states are still working toward compliant. You still need an ID though.

- exegete 8y agoThe intent here is if you lost your ID, but I guess if you're willing to have additional screening and waste your time, go for it. It's also a risk that they can't confirm your identity. "If we can confirm your identity, you’ll be cleared to go through security, and you may or may not have to go through some additional screening." That's also just the TSA. You'll still have to convince the carrier to let you board without an ID. Edit: Your link is 5 years old, and I don't think is up to date. Here's the current policy: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification "Adult passengers 18 and over must show valid identification at the airport checkpoint in order to travel." They do so you "may" be able to travel if you forgot your ID.
- monocasa 8y agoI've personally dealt with this a couple years ago. My wallet was stolen while traveling. All that happened was they searched my bags harder. Lol, "randomly selected for additional screening". Sure, whatever. Just because someone starts off asking you for an ID doesn't mean that they don't have a process for no ID.
