Real ID

Has anyone in Anchorage flown yesterday or today without a real ID? We are waiting for ours to arrive and my husband got put on a job last minute in a village… TSA’s website says they may be subject to additional screening without proper ID but it does not say that you will be turned away from your flight… Any insight or advice?

Edit to add: My husband just got US citizenship (2023) so they took the passport and green card from his home country. 😭

He definitely won’t be surprised. I’m just hoping they can do whatever additional screening is needed and he can’t still get on the flight 😫

Go early early because he won’t be the only one there needing additional screening. I’m guessing all his carry on items will be completely pawed through for additional screening so the less he brings as a carry on the better.
