> card information into a nationwide database.  But these threats didn't
> actually cause states to follow TSA's illegal orders.  So rather than
> follow through on the threat, which would risk a legal challenge that
> would make it clear the threat is hollow, the US Department of
> Homeland Security has again blinked.  It just quietly deferred its
> deadline about when it claims it will enforce the REAL-ID Act against
