This is something that I just learned about the other day visiting my local BMV to get my address updated on my drivers license. In case you didn't know by 2020 you will need what they call a "REAL ID" to board a plane, and enter certain GOV buildings. So it looks like we have gone full circle, I remember the days when we would think that would never happen in the US and laugh at the thought, but now here we are along with all the other things that could never happen in the US. And when you look it up on the .gov website they make it sound like its no big deal, and I guess if it was just the ID it might not be, but they are slowly getting their foot in the door on every aspect of our lives.
The REAL ID Act of 2005, Pub.L. 109–13, 119 Stat. 302, enacted May 11, 2005, is an Act of Congress that modifies U.S. federal law pertaining to security, authentication, and issuance procedures standards for the state driver's licenses and identity documents, as well as various immigration issues pertaining to terrorism.
And as you can see it was a law passed in 2005, and there is the key word that allows them to do what ever they want TERRORISM. So here we are again they keep pushing more and more and we keep giving our consent and that is ultimatly what they have to get to do any of the things they do, CONSENT. Anyway want to keep it short, just wanted to point this out to people so they are a little better informed to whats going on.
Have a good day everyone and thanks for checking this out.
