The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has announced that starting in May 2025, following the publication of the final rule regarding the use of REAL ID enforcement across airports in the United States, travelers will have to have identification that meets security requirements.
Yes. It is a US problem. US state agencies have been racist (as a way to hide being in open class warfare against the poor) from their inception. The country was built on invasion and slavery, and grew more progressive about human rights over time.
The US has been in a “pretend we fixed it all so we don’t have to fix anything further” phase for decades now.
The current (class warfare strategy) is passing harsh laws that are difficult (occasionally impossible) to comply with, and then selectively enforcing them using skin color and wealth.
