Actually, we were told as of October 2004, we should get passports, as this would happen any day. So, it is certainly coming, and you may as well get your passports ready. Delta Airlines has been saying it is a requirement already, and it is just a matter of time. The rules are changing, we have gone to Aruba for years with just birth certificates, I know, but with all the security changes, thats to be expected. So just prepare yourself. Its not that big of a deal, and a passport is good for 10 years. So, get ready, its definitely coming, we called some government offices from Aruba, etc, and they dont know when, but they said yes!!
