(Radio Iowa) – The spokesperson for the T-S-A in Iowa and other Midwest states says they made it through the first day of the Real I-D requirement without any real issues.

The TSA’a Jessica Mayle (May-lee) says those who haven’t flown in awhile and haven’t upgraded their driver’s license to a Real I-D do have other options like a passport to get on an airplane.

Mayle isn’t surprised there are some people who haven’t made the change to their driver’s license.

Mayle says don’t compound your I-D problem by having something that’s unacceptable in your carry on bag.

Mayle says you should start with an empty bag and that will cut down on the possibility that you will have something in it that you can’t take on the plane.
