I just saw this news about paying $45 extra for domestic flights if you don't have a Real ID... that's like an extra bag of peanuts on a flight, right? I mean, I get it, security is important and all that, but come on! It feels like they're nickel-and-diming us to death. And what's with the online payment thingy? That just seems like another way for them to make more money off us. Can't we just have a simple ID check without all these extra fees? I'm not sure about this new policy... it doesn't sit well with me
Umm... $45 just to fly domestic? That's crazy! I know some of my friends don't have a valid ID yet, but 6% is like, what, a quarter of the country? Can't they just make it easier for us to get an ID instead of hitting us with another fee?
