"When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's, social collapse is not far away. It is time to go elsewhere." Happy New Year! Yes indeed another year has arrived and we wish all a happy, safe and prosperous New Year! Are You Seeing Stars on Your State Driver’s License? Say Hello to REAL ID Are you seeing stars? If you live in Indiana, South Dakota, Delaware, Connecticut, Utah, Alabama, Ohio, Florida and West Virginia you will be. A gold star on your state drivers license means that you have yourself a REAL ID card. The Real ID Act of 2005 imposed federally mandated standards for state driver's licenses comes into full force in 2016. Under REAL ID licenses are to be * machine readable The federal government with a little help from their friends at the Secure Driver’s License Coalition are putting the squeeze on the states to comply with the federal REAL ID Act of 2005. You know, that federal mandate to create an International ID that about half of the states told the federal government that would NOT comply with. "Heavily criticized by concerned citizens, civil liberties groups, and state government agencies, the Real ID act is opposed by over 600 organizations including the National Governors Association." Ars Technica, 2007 More state governments defy congress and reject Real ID http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2007/04/more-state-governments-defy-congress-and-reject-real-id.ars List of states' Real ID "refusal to comply" legislation http://www.ncsl.org/?tabid=13574 According to the Secure Driver's License Coalition "more than half of the states are close to joining the club that is authorized to place a gold star on its driver's licenses and IDs." Below is a recent press release by the Secure Driver's License Coalition where they go on and on about how terrible it is going to be for the poor citizens living in rogue anti-REAL ID states but here is something the Secure Driver's License Coalition won't tell you; There are not statutory limitation on the "official purposes" for which a REAL ID card can be demanded. The Secretary of Homeland Security, at his or her sole discretion can add any other purpose he or she desires without any congressional approval. As it stands now, after the deadline(Jan 15, 2013) is up for states to have implemented REAL ID, we will be required to show our "gold star" cards to fly on a commercial airline, enter a federal building or a nuclear facility but the DHS secretary could decide that the card is required to purchase a firearm or the get healthcare if the Sec. so desired. GOLD STARS APPEAR, AS STATES HAVE MONTHS TO MEET FEDERAL REAL ID STANDARDS FOR SECURE DRIVER'S LICENSES AND IDS in 2016. Happy New Year! See you next year.
