According to this link: http://www.rawstory.com/2016/12/tsa-...-an-airplane/: "Flyers with driver’s licenses from*Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri,*Montana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Washington will need an alternative form of ID, like a passport or military ID" That will be effective in January of 2018.
I tried to find out more information from the TSA website; but that is confusing. However it does verify that those states are not in compliance. I found a better link on our local news station: PA Driver’s License Not Valid ID For Future Air Travel | WNEP.com. What bothers me is some facilities will be affected this coming January. You might not be able to get on a military base, some government buildings, or nuclear power plants without acceptable ID.
My State passed a law that prevents compliance and that law will have to be repealed if we are to comply.
I have no idea how this will play out; but it will be an interesting story to follow.
This is actually an appropriate division of state and federal government for once. States make their own licenses, but the fed agency can choose to accept or not without mandating anything.
More red tape . Thank the terrorists and our government. Now to fly ,one will have to stand in line, prove who you are with a stack of papers and shell out by hundreds of dollars to board a plane. I don't like this one bit!

Of course they can; but it will cost the residents of these nine states more money to fly. What is a passport; about $100?
Passports are currently about $115 for the initial one. Renewals are $110.
They're good for 10 years. Modest cost, IMO.
