    Real ID will be extended again due to low adapation. This Real ID act is a waste of time and a big money drain. I refuse to get one. TSA is a horror show that needs to go. Real ID act is not about safety. Its a money drain. Last time I went to my local DMV at the Atlantic Ave Zoo I could not wait to get out of there. I went on the standard ID line and i was done in 10 minutes.
