Traveler Reports Challenging Airport Security Experience Amidst New REAL ID Requirements

An individual recently shared a video detailing a challenging experience at an airport security checkpoint, citing new REAL ID requirements. According to the traveler, as of May 5, 2025, a REAL ID with a star is necessary for air travel. The individual reported being pulled from the main security line due to not possessing the updated identification or a passport. They described the subsequent screening as highly intrusive, claiming they "basically had to strip" and that their footwear was subjected to an unusual level of scrutiny. The traveler expressed significant frustration with the extended wait times and the perceived over-rigorous nature of the checks, suggesting these changes are part of a "new management" approach. The individual urged viewers to comment on their own experiences with the updated airport security protocols.
