Passports Required Starting Jan 8

Anyone entering the United States, even from Canada, the Caribbean, or
Mexico, will need a passport beginning January 8. This will be true
even for infants; the old cut-off was 14. Also, a child needs the
permission of both parents to get a passport, which should be all kinds
of fun for single parents.

This is not the appropriate forum to discuss the wisdom of this policy.
Pilots should be aware of the rules, though, especially if they are
planning any international flights next year.
