Seen at Threat Level:
Citizens of all 50 states are now free to board airplanes using their driver’s licenses—at least until 2010, after the final renegade anti-Real ID state—Maine—won a time extension Wednesday from deadlines attached to new federal identification rules.[...]
On Wednesday, Maine’s governor agreed to seek legislation to tighten licensing restrictions, including restricting licenses to residents and those who can prove their legal status in the United States. He did not, however, have to promise the changes would happen.
And thus we see that the SEP (Somebody Else’s Problem) field is fully functional at DHS, in these waning days of the Bush Administration.
