If you’re a frequent-flier, come January all Louisiana residents could be required to have a passport when boarding a plane, no matter the destination. It all has to do with a federal law, called the Real ID Act. It was signed into law back in 2005 in the wake of the September 11th terror attacks. It requires states to have enhanced driver’s licenses and state ID’s to boost security at airports. Louisiana has been able to get around the law since 2005, but that might be coming to an end.
I enjoy the program on TBN, and am glad Pastor Baxter is speaking about REAL ID. It is sad so many Americans will not stand up against this bad law. We have been subject to it here in Florida since January 2010. Our group Floridians Against REAL ID has been around since mid-2010 and we have written legislation to repeal REAL ID here. Our main opponent is our own government- the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
I would appreciate your prayers for God’s will to be done here. I realize as a Christian these bad things will come to pass as written in God’s word, but I cannot in good conscience remain silent about this issue.
