Passports now required for domestic travel??

REALLY???
What's going to happen to someone who might never have obtained a passport and never bothered to get one because they had no expectation of international travel who might suddenly need to fly to the bed-side of a dying family member or some such scenario? Is there no recourse for anyone who does not possess a passport for whatever reason?
Gosh I hope this regulation soon to be enacted (should this really be true) is challenged in a federal court!
