Mines about to expire too. Not going anywhere but like to have it.

If your state issues the new secure drivers license it may be as
acceptable as a passport.

Wife and I got them at our last drivers license renewal (DE). Required
a lot of ID. PITA for women as if they have adapted a married name they
need proof of marriage.

Yep, I'm getting one of those enhanced licenses this year. Minnesota is
one of those liberal states who thought they were above the government
ID mandate, so the current license will soon not be accepted at
airports, and other places, as proper ID.

That's one of those ways the feds extort states into doing those things the feds want. The federal ID card idea has been around for quite a while. First it was floated years ago as a way to combat illegal immigration. When that didn't work, the hysteria of the citizenry demanding that the government do something about terrorism revived the concept of the Imperial Federal Government citizen ID card. If a government can find you and identify you, it can control you. Our government can't seem to do anything about illegal immigrants because it can't find them but it can easily frak with us citizens. We have become subjects of The Imperial Federal Government and we accepted it without a fight. Bend over, mandatory body cavity searches are coming to a TSA roadblock on the streets of your city. o_O
