Huntsville International Airport prepares for REAL ID May 7 enforcement
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — TSA officials will not be extending the start of REAL ID. Starting on May 7, a REAL ID will be required to board an airplane in the United States. At the Huntsville International Airport, officials tell News 19 that TSA staff are getting ready to start enforcement. However, it may be a challenge because only 31% of Alabamians have a STAR ID, which is Alabama's version of a REAL ID. DPD requests ALEA, FBI conduct investigation into death of John Scott Jr. 'We're kind of in the lowest percentage in the United States,' said Tara Corse, the Federal Security Director for the State of Alabama. She said 69% of Alabamians do not have a STAR ID. Corse said if you arrive at the airport on or after May 7 without a STAR ID (or another acceptable form of identification), you may be denied entry to the terminal. 'They're going to face significant delays, they're going to have to go through an enhanced verification process and if that enhanced verification process doesn't mitigate it, that individual will be denied entry into the checkpoint,' Corse told News 19. Lease for Pryor Field Regional Airport aircraft maintenance hanger finalized As an alternative to a REAL ID, the TSA will also accept: A U.S. Passport or Passport Card A Department of Defense Card A DHS Trusted Traveler Card An Enhanced Driver's License On Tuesday, News 19 stopped by the ALEA Driver's License Examiner's Office in Huntsville. Even in the pouring rain, a long line led out the door. Senior Trooper Brandon Bailey with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency reminds people that only Driver's License Examiner's Offices are issuing STAR IDs. He said STAR IDs are available at about 75 ALEA offices across the state. He said while he encourages everyone to get one in a timely fashion, that if you do not have any upcoming travel plans, or if you have other approved identification, to may wait until the crowds die down. 'I encourage you, if you're not going to be flying anytime soon, wait till after some of the crowd die down to go get your Star ID,' Bailey said. 'You can still, if there's an emergency, use your passport.' Bailey said to make sure you have all of the proper documentation when you go to get a STAR ID. Including any documents, such as a marriage license or divorce decree, that indicate a name change from your original birth certificate. You can click here to go to the ALEA website.

Maserati Launches Officine Fuoriserie Bespoke Program
has launched a new customization program called Officine Fuoriserie Maserati that is open to its full lineup. The program is split between customizable "catalog" models and full-blown tailor-made bespoke cars created as one-of-one models. Maserati launched the program by revealing an exclusive titled "Less is More...?" with a livery that mixes matte and glossy paint colors. According to Maserati CEO Santo Ficili, "Bespoke is the history and future of luxury cars." That's why earlier today, the Italian brand launched a new customization program called Officine Fuoriserie Maserati to give its customers more freedom in customizing their cars. The program is split into two categories. The first offers two customizable collections: Fuoriserie Corsa and Fuoriserie Futura. The second category is all about individuality and offers bespoke, one-of-one cars that customers get to design throughout the build process in conjunction with Maserati's creative department. Maserati says the Fuoriserie Corsa models are inspired by the brand's racing heritage. They use "color as a material" with liveries inspired by racing icons throughout Maserati's history. The brand stressed that none of the Corse models use decals, instead creating each livery entirely out of paint. Fuoriserie models are meant to focus more on material and "chromatic experimentation," according to Maserati. The second collection draws its inspiration from the interior design, product design, and sportswear industries. As for the bespoke models, Maserati says that unlike the neighbors in Maranello, it has no plans to reject a customer's creative choices to protect the Maserati image. Instead, the brand will work with customers through every step of the design process to create a one-of-one model. As part of that process, Maserati will send a wooden box with physical examples for customers to get a sense of the available color and material. For customers with deep enough pockets, the brand will even work to create bespoke colors that won't be available on any other car. The one thing the brand won't do in the bespoke process is work with customers on bespoke bodywork, though Klaus Busse, Maserati's head of design, said that could become an option in the future. As proof of concept for the new program, Maserati revealed the MC20 Cielo Less is More...? one-off car. It's got a custom paint job that mixes a a Blu Corse Matte base with a glossy livery made up of geometric shapes inspired by the Bauhaus art style. The shapes are finished in shades of white, blue, yellow, and red.

33 guns seized by TSA at Huntsville International Airport in 2024, 130 seized statewide: Report
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — According to the Transportation Security Administration, officers across the state of Alabama seized 130 guns at checkpoints in 2024. According to the TSA website, the largest increase in year-to-year comparisons was at Huntsville International Airport where officers took 33 guns in 2024 compared to 20 in 2023. TSA said this was a 65% increase. Hanceville Mayor releases statement on decision to disband police department Of those 33 guns taken last year, TSA said 32 were loaded. In 2025 so far, TSA at Huntsville International Airport has taken one gun, a Glock, loaded with 16 rounds. The Alabama statewide total of 130 seized guns in 2024 was 23 percent higher than the 106 passengers who brought firearms to the checkpoints across the state in 2023. The specific numbers at the airports across Alabama last year were 71 at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport, 69 loaded; 33 at Huntsville International Airport, 32 of them loaded; 15 at Mobile Regional Airport, all loaded; eight at Montgomery Regional Airport, all loaded; and three at Dothan Regional Airport, all loaded. Morgan County Sheriff's Office seeking information on man wanted for outstanding warrants 'This is a safety concern for our officers and the travelers in the checkpoints, especially because nearly all of these firearms were loaded,' said TSA Federal Security Director for the State of Alabama Tara Corse. 'We commend our officers for their vigilance as we carry out our mission throughout the year to keep the traveling public safe.' If you are going to travel with your firearm it must be in your checked bag, unloaded and in a locked hard-sided case. You must declare it to the airline at check-in. 'Travelers are responsible for being aware of what the firearm laws are on each side of their trip or they may be cited or heading to jail instead of to their vacation or business trip. Firearms may not be legal to transport even in checked baggage in some jurisdictions,' said Corse. Many of the passengers across the country who bring firearms to a federal security checkpoint are arrested or issued notices to appear in court. Chick-fil-A tests new menu items in four cities Regardless of whether the traveler is arrested or cited by law enforcement, passengers face a civil penalty imposed by the TSA that can reach nearly $15,000. If the traveler is in the TSA PreCheck program, those privileges will be lost for a period of time, possibly permanently.
