Very boring reading: Minimum Standards for Driver's Licenses and Identification Cards
Acceptable by Federal Agencies for Official Purposes
Federal Register January 29, 2008 per the Real ID Act of 2005.

Among many other things, the Feds don't want anything on the DL that could easily be altered.

I fly about once a year, but all three of my sons fly frequently (at least monthly) for business purposes. The one who lives in Washington (a non-compliant state) will soon have to start carrying his passport instead. although the Feds keep extending the deadline.
