The first day of Real ID enforcement was on Wednesday, and a TSA New England spokesperson told WBZ-TV it's been a smooth day of travel for airports in the region. Even the procrastinators made sure they had a Real ID before the policy kicked in Wednesday morning.

Some were “pleasantly surprised” by how the first day went as the long-awaited ID requirement started Wednesday.

We may see some slightly longer TSA lines, but will be watching whether or not we need to encourage passengers to get here early," a Massport official said.
