Your driver's license should be good until its expiration date, mmacdDE, as long as you live in a state that has received an extension from the Department of Homeland Security (so far, that's any state but Maine, New Hampshire and South Carolina).  However, Real ID will ultimately require everyone to go to the DMV and re-enroll - present all your source documents and have them verified.

Your passport should cover you on airplanes for now, but make no mistake, Real ID is a national ID card and if ever implemented, will be required for more and more basic functions in society.  That's why we need to stop this invasive and - you're completely right - unnecessary program.
