This is funny -- DHS is a laughing stock and showing itself to be just that.

You know, you might work for Ole Shirtoff himself
Do you know what this means:

Florida

Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas

A correct list of all 50 states and 6 territories?

It means ONE employee at DHS is smarter than a fifth grader.

Thumbs down
It's sad to see this. A few states that stood up to the nonsense didn't want extensions but were granted them anyway.

Thanks for sharing....
This is even better than Dilbert.

I couldn't stop laughing.

Wonder how soon this page will be removed from their website?

REAL ID compliant drivers licenses and ID cards will allow you to board a federally-regulated airplane, access a federal facility or a nuclear power plant
Does this mean, if I can manage to get one of these, I can take a wander round a nuclear power station next time I come over on vacation.

Forget Disneyland that would be a much better sight-seeing tour

Yeah, that map kind of peeves me. Montana DID NOT request an extension. Montana WILL NOT request an extension. The Governor of MT signed a law that bars Montana from asking for an extension.

Grrrrr.

Probably wanted to avoid a situation where your governor would march up very publicly to the nearest airport with his non-compliant ID and give the TSA the choice of either passing him (setting a precedent) or denying him (giving him a platform to launch an even more public assault on the whole idea thanks to the media attention). Good on Montana.

Reminds me of a song...

Fifty, Nifty, United States from 13 origional colonies..... I still remember the jingle from 1976.

DHS and that webpage is just plain sad.

I just noticed this on the TSA site linked to above:
What does it mean if my State has been granted a REAL ID extension?

That means your State will be moving toward more secure driver's licenses. Secure identification is a 9/11 Commission recommendation that will help combat terrorism and identity theft.
Do they speak for all states listed, including Montana? I think not. WHAT BS!
