Real ID is a contract between the federal government and the states about the security of their existing ID issuing processes. It covers things like, don’t leave ID printers and card stock in podunk branch offices where $12/hour staff can let in their friends at night. Use printing processes that are sufficiently hard to replicate. If your freedom relied on stuff like this, you were already an outlaw, the only implication of Real ID is that now you will need stronger technical skills to produce your next convincing fake. It has nothing to do with where and whether IDs are required. Airport and courthouse security have been requiring IDs for many years now.
