- tracker1 8y agoExactly... my only real issue with this is that you are restricted from travel by other conventional means (bus), and are also restricted from being able to leave the country without it (of course being up to other countries to let you enter without it).
- amichal 8y agoThis was somewhat explicitly what REAL ID was about. Provide name age, address and photo to the feds along with any related state ID info (which often correlates easily with fed info). I would not be surprised if airport cameras already put "citizen ids" on photos for the right folks...
- Gaelan 8y agoIDK enough about this to know who's right, but the DHS denies this: > Is DHS trying to build a national database with all of our information? > No. REAL ID is a national set of standards, not a national identification card. REAL ID does not create a federal database of driver license information. Each jurisdiction continues to issue its own unique license, maintains its own records, and controls who gets access to those records and under what circumstances. The purpose of REAL ID is to make our identity documents more consistent and secure.
