May 7 marks the first day of Real ID enforcement and a TSA New England spokesperson told WBZ-TV it's been a smooth day of travel for airports in the region. Even the procrastinators made sure they had a Real ID before the policy kicked in Wednesday morning.

We may see some slightly longer TSA lines, but will be watching whether or not we need to encourage passengers to get here early," a Massport official said.

South Carolina airports started enforcing the use of REAL IDs at TSA checkpoints May 7. Airports like Charleston, Myrtle Beach and Columbia were ready.
