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.

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.

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