“The duration of delay travelers will be determined by the number of other travelers who do not have a credential for real identification composition or other form of identification accepted by TSA,” added the spokesman.
Gary Leff, an expert in the Texas -based travel industry and author of the blog “View From The Wing”, told Fox News Digital that he does not expect “significant delays”, but will affect travel times.

He continued, “that could become a significant bottleneck.”
