I posted this at TMF: METaR, but I'll share it here too.

Mary Robinette Kowal is a US author who is on a book tour. She has done this many times before but experienced a new /sarcasm joy of traveling in the Atlanta airport. Here’s an edited version of her post at BlueSky from 5:02 am this morning.

I just checked in at the Atlanta airport and the kiosk wanted me to show a “passport or permanent residence card.” The airline rep who was helping me said “I don’t know why it’s doing this it’s been doing it all morning.”

She was moving people from kiosk to kiosk to see if she could get one that wouldn’t trigger that message. Fortunately, I had my passport with me. Also, I’m a 56 year old white cis-woman. The rest of this book tour is going to be fun. Whee!

In answer to a question people keep asking. “Could this be related to the new Real ID requirements?” I have a Real ID. This happened when I tapped my boarding pass to check my bags.

Further clarification: This was a domestic flight from Atlanta to Houston. Needing to show my passport for international travel would not have been surprising.
