On Monday all U.S. citizens will be required to use a passport for air travel to Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. This comes eight years after the Sept. 11 attacks and long after the 9/11 Commission recommended the changes.
Travelers who do not comply with the new requirements will get a warning and be allowed to enter the U.S. after a background check.
Under the new rule, travelers also can use a passport card issued by the U.S. State Department to cross land borders. The card does not work for air travel. At $45 for first-time applicants, it's a more affordable alternative to the traditional passport, which costs $100
