If DHS/TSA carries through with it's threat to refuse DLs from non RealID-compliant states in May, the effects of many "day(s) of flight without ID" will happen without any action by passengers.
Particularly at airports in non-compliant states, if you figure that half of all passengers will be locals and that about 75% of those have no ID other than a DL (not an unreasonable assumption, only ~20% of Americans have passports), you've got at least 38% of pax essentially flying "no ID." Let the HaraSSSSment begin.
This sort of debacle, particularly with it obviously caused by DHS/TSA (as opposed to passenger action), may be enough to turn the tide against TSAs ever more draconian security theater.
