The deadline of yet another, and perhaps the most insidious, element of the post-9/11 initiatives (a partial list of which includes the establishment of the Transportation Security Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, and a never-ending international war against a nebulously-defined, noncorporeal enemy, "terror") is less than one year from coming to fruition. Beginning no later than October 1, 2020, citizens of all US states and territories will be required to have a Real ID compliant card or US passport to board a commercial plane or enter a Federal government facility. Pundits citing the inevitability of what amounts to a national ID card have, regrettably, been vindicated.

POOF! your credit cards, ID, and SS card just disappeared. Now, see how easy it is to get replacements. BTW, you didn't notice but your ID expired last year (how an ID expires when the person didn't also expire is beyond me).
Now, just to add to the fun, imagine if the bills are in your SO's name.
Good luck danmars, IF that's really who you are!
