(Undated) — Those looking to travel by plane will need to have real IDs starting next week. That is a state-issued ID such as a driver’s license or passport that is real ID compliant. Captain Adam Zishka with the Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Office said yesterday the TSA will accept other forms of identification like passports, but it could lead to delays and other problems while traveling. South Dakota has been ahead of the move, issuing real ID since 2009.
