Note: Americans, If you are planning to use your passport as ID until you can manage to get a Real ID, I beg you consider how screwed you may be if your passport is stolen or lost as you travel in the US.
Clear moment of panic from DHS as they realized that they were about to have TSA turn away over half a million people a day at airports.
Regardless, if that many people are getting extra screenings, get to the airport EARLY.

Hey nonprofits: 501c3 status is a federal tax thing. You can operate as a regular org without it. Only difference: You can’t get grants from 501c3 foundations or the government unless they give via a fiscal sponsor, and donors and sponsors can’t try to take a tax deduction for gifts to you.
