The new IDs are more secure and harder to counterfeit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But after several lengthy delays, millions of Americans still don&#8217;t meet the requirement that&#8217;s just over a month away.<\/p>\n<p>The Transportation Security Administration told CBS News they are seeing about 81% compliance at checkpoints, meaning people are showing up with a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/pittsburgh\/news\/real-id-enforcement-deadline-western-pennsylvania\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Real ID<\/a><\/span> or their passport.

In Florida&#8217;s Miami-Dade county, local authorities discovered scalpers hoarding free DMV appointments and selling them for up to $250.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not a good idea at all,&#8221; said resident Lizzie Colindres. &#8220;We&#8217;ve been waiting for hours.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/chicago\/news\/real-id-deadline-coming-may\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Illinois<\/a><\/span>, which has only about 33% compliance statewide, opened the first-in-the-nation Real ID supercenter last month in a former Walgreens location.
