Every time I fly within the US, I only had to have a valid state ID or driver license. Do I need to use my passport as well starting next year? Where can I get accurate info. about this?

Starting Jan 23rd 2007 (yes the date just recently changed) you will need a passport for Mexico, Canada, Bermuda, Caribbean, S. America, Puerto Rico (yes some airlines are requiring this), etc. This includes flying and driving travels, unlike what another said that it only included flying travels.
For Travel within the 50 US you will not need a passport to fly. You will still just need the drivers license or government issued ID.

Here's the plan: In January of 2007 you will need a passport to to fly into Canada and back or to Central American
I have never seen proof anywhere that we will need passports to travel within the country.
Where do these rumors come from? Why do so many people believe them?

No, this is not true. Your state ID or drivers license will be just fine. You only need a passport when you travel outside the US.
Believe me, if this was true, we would have heard a LOT about it! People would be scrambling to apply for a passport, we would hear of people who would be unable to travel home or to a hospital in another state as they don't have/can't get a passport....

I seriously doubt it, because if that was the case, I believe the American public would have been notified before now. It wouldn't be a rule that would go into effect immediately without prior notification. I have heard that the President is trying to get legislation passed that would require something like that, but I don't know if it is true. You could write your congressman and ask. You can find anything on Google, just type key words into the search box and check out the sites that come up.

And FWIW, i've got have been given secondaried people who gave me US passports (to learn their identity), so a passport isn't any assure that the guy will purely sail by using border formalities. to answer you precisely, you will now no longer % a passport to flow the U. S., yet you would be desiring one to flow distinctive u . s . a ., so which you will probably have your passport as quickly as you come again.

No, that would undoubtedly violate at least one of the Amendments to the constitution.
You will need a passport to travel to Canada and Mexico however.
