Homeland Security chief says travelers with no REAL ID can fly for now, but with likely extra steps

The head of Homeland Security says travelers who aren't REAL ID compliant by the upcoming deadline this week will still be able to fly but should be prepared for extra scrutiny. Kristi Noem told a congressional panel that 81% of travelers already have IDs that comply with the REAL ID requirements. She says security checkpoints will also be accepting passports and tribal identification when the deadline hits Wednesday. She says those who still lack an identification that complies with the REAL ID law "may be diverted to a different line, have an extra step." But they will still be allowed to fly.
