This isn’t like the 1st amendment.

Public carriers like airlines are not allowed to refuse service for the reason of refusing to show ID.

They can refuse for other reasons, but the are not “in the loop” when passengers currently get screened by the TSA, which is where RealID is “required”.

They very much are in the loop if you get on a plane to fly internationally
