Well, Puerto Rico is exempt from requirement of US passport for American citizens since they are part of US territory.

I disagree with this law, because it is a bit of an inconvenience. Not that we go into the States very often, because we have only driven across the border twice in all my life of living 45 minutes from the New York border. I don't have any need to go into the States anytime soon anyways, so it's not really any skin off my nose, but it is unfortunate for those other people that go into the States quite frequently. I think that this law is more because of the US' southern border with Mexico because of the problems the Americans are having with illegal immigrants.

If they fail to show their passport to a security agent at the border, they will be sent to Gitmo!

The requirements of passport at U.S. and Canadian airports already began in 2007.

Speaking of June 1st, it is directed at the cross borders. My home is only 1 1/2 hours drive-long north from the Canadian-U.S. border and I tend to go to Upstate New York a few times every year. I don't mind carrying my passport although it is a hassling inconvenience for me to go thru the U.S. and Canadian Customs.

I believe that will be miles-long lines at border crossings after June 1.

yup- it was then they annouced they will need to postpone it and look into it more. But you might want to look into your state local DMV instead of getting a passport. In NYS, they have what you call a ENHANCED drivers lincense. This will allow you to go into Canada and back in US without a passport. I think this is great as the driver lincense will always stay in my wallet and I won't have to worry about where is the passport. If my passport is stolen from home, what am I gonna do about identity theft ?
