Do you have your passport yet?

On Wednesday, a federal law took effect that requires citizens of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Bermuda to present a passport to enter the United States when arriving by air from any part of the Western Hemisphere. That means if you're planning a trip to Cancun for Spring Break and were hoping traditional identification could ensure re-entry, you're out of luck.

It's all part of the Department of Homeland Security's plan to help keep America safer.

But does this new rule affect your travel plans? Tell us about them at letters@enquirer.com, or bmccauley@enquirer.com.
