Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 75174, member: 636"] TSA just dropped a new fee for anyone 18 and up who shows up at airport security without proper ID. Starting next year, if you roll through without a REAL ID-compliant license or something like a passport or military card, you're getting hit with a 45-dollar charge to use their identity verification system called Confirm.ID. The system works for 10 days of travel, but paying doesn't guarantee you'll get through if they can't confirm who you are. The fee jumped way up from an earlier 18-dollar proposal after TSA realized the verification tech costs more than they thought. About 94 percent of travelers already have acceptable documents, so most people won't deal with this. If you want to skip the fee, just make sure your driver's license has the REAL ID star on it or bring a passport. [/QUOTE]
