Real ID - Friend or Foe?

Real ID Act of 2005 is planned to fight terrorism, identity theft, and other problems by amplifying the precautions of state-issued ID. The law calls on each state to put into action a set of bare minimum national standards in several areas:. Information and security so-called-safeguards that must be built into each license. Proof of where you were born, date of birth, social security number, citizenship status, and primary home address. Verification of the source credentials provided by all people applying.

The statute demands somebody desiring to enter a Federal building, fly on an jet or open a bank account to have the Big Brother recognized Real ID or a passport. It would also put every Real ID holder in a Big Brother database. Looks good, but the reality is that the Real ID destroys on our privacy and invites thieves to steal personal information without making the US more protected from terrorism or deterring illegal immigration.

Regrettably, Real ID is a catastrophe waiting to transpire. Some have even said that it is a signal of the apocalypse. The initial estimated price was $14. 6 billion, it's been "condensed" to on the order of $3.9 billion (a lot of money, isn't it?) by giving states greater flexibility in issuing licenses to older Americans.

Real ID is a horrible idea, it means long lines and more funds from you and I. It means the entire bureaucratic hassle of establishing your ID - to the satisfaction of the government - is shifted to your local Department of Motor Vehicles. The government will give permission whether you can move, have a bank account, get a occupation, or have access to "Federal courts and facilities." What were once inalienable rights are now privileges requiring government permission. Without Real ID you will not be able to:. Drive your vehicle. Board a jet, train, or bus. Enter any federal structure.
