Travelers going through airport security checkpoints without a REAL ID or passport will face a $45 fee starting February 1, the Transportation Security Administration announced Monday.<\/p>\n

This fee is part of the Trump administration\u2019s next phase of REAL ID enforcement.<\/p>\n

According to a report by ABC News<\/a><\/strong>, the process will require individuals to verify their identity through a biometric or biographic system if they don\u2019t have a Real ID-compliant form of identification before they\u2019re permitted to cross through the TSA checkpoint.<\/p>\n

That means getting your face scanned or your fingerprints taken right there at the airport or you will be turned away, unable to board your flight.<\/p>\n

The announcement follows a proposed rule published in the Federal Register last month, but the agency increased the fee from its previously proposed amount of $18.<\/p>\n

Steve Lorincz, TSA\u2019s deputy executive assistant administrator for security operations, told ABC News:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fee was necessary because we needed to modernize the system. We needed to make sure that the system is safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ah yes, it\u2019s always about keeping us safe. As they herd us into their digital feudal system.<\/p>\n

TSA says the fee will cover the administrative and IT costs associated with the ID verification program and ensure the expense is covered by the travelers and not the taxpayers.<\/p>\n

Whether the expense \u2014 a needless one created by technocrats bent on total control \u2014 is covered by air travelers or taxpayers, it\u2019s still a case of making the minions pay for their own enslavement.<\/p>\n

I would submit that this same biometric control feature will eventually be required to get a driver\u2019s license and travel on the nation\u2019s interstate highways, similar to what\u2019s now being required to fly in the skies.<\/p>\n

Technocracy is never satisfied in its drive for total control over people\u2019s lives. In this case, it\u2019s our freedom of movement they are out to curtail. But they are also working to curtail our use of resources such as water, electricity, gasoline, etc., while at the same time monitoring and controling our freedom of speech, our healthcare, our children\u2019s education, everything.<\/p>\n

Never comply. Never bow to this ugly, tyrannical beast system.<\/p>\n
