Hello dear readers.
As many of you can tell by now, my mind gets twisted around things and won't let them go. This whole showing ID to get into the convention center is one of those things.
If you live in a state that cannot/does not comply with the Real ID law (there are 5 that have said they will not comply and 15 that might not be able to comply), then come May 11, you are going to have problems entering federal buildings, not to mention getting on a plane.
With the convention center being in a federal security zone, I have no doubt that Real ID is going to be enforced.
I doubt that any members of the GA Planning Committee read this blog. If by chance any do, I beg you to find out what the implications of Real ID are going to be on the convention center and get that out to the wider UU community fast.
As for those of you who are planning to go to GA, make sure your Passport is in order. And if you need an updated one, jump on it. It takes 4-6 weeks for you to receive it once you've turned in everything you have to turn in, so that means you have only a few more weeks to work it out.

Don't be so sure that Real ID will actually be fully enforced after May 11th. The USA was supposed to enforce the requirement for Canadians crossing the US border to present passports recently but relented and allowed Canadians to cross the border without passports. US border officers are handing out informational flyers to Canadians that do not present passports and will be doing so for a year long grace period. A similar thing could happen with Real ID.
