Flying Domestic May Get Harder Thanks to Driver’s License Law

States balk at new IDs and data sharing as a danger to privacy, but the federal government could bar their residents from travel if they don’t comply.

Four years after hijackers showed driver’s licenses to board planes used in the 2001 terrorist attacks, Congress passed the “Real ID” Act to force states to exert greater oversight of the primary identification Americans use when they fly domestically.

DYI:  Terrorists my A$$.  Bloomberg’s Justin Bachman author of the article, of all people you should know by now there were no planes hitting the twin towers [nor the Pentagon or Shanksville P.A.].  A TV Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is all that was seen on that frightful day as our own government – with the help of the Israeli Mossad – blew up the towers in one form or fashion to bring about Fascist’s Orwellian controls upon the American public AND to feather the nest of the Military Industrial Complex as the U.S. wars’ against the middle east locking down oil/gas reserves plus disrupting Israel’s enemies.  I’m not going to do a redo on 911.  Anyone with a half a brain should know by now it was an inside job. 

Now, after 13 years of delays and extensions, the Trump administration has fixed a hard deadline of October for states to comply. Under the law, all airline travelers must display a new, technologically advanced license if they wish to board a plane. But privacy advocates warn that the program, with its requirement of data and photo sharing between states and the federal government, carries with it some Orwellian implications. 

DYI:  Some??  Some Orwellian aspects?  Add on…

• License Plate Reader technology (cars & trucks)
• GPS tracking of busses, commercial trucks and soon to be installed GPS in new non- commercial cars/trucks.
• Monitor and store all financial transactions – debit/credit cards, investment accounts, real estate transactions, insurance transactions, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.
• Monitor and store all E-mail and voice communications.
• The Fed’s may have your medical records as well.
• National ID card arriving soon.

A cradle to grave monitoring and storage of every aspect of your life.   

Lawmakers were spurred to pass the “Real ID” Act by the 9-11 Commission. The congressional aim was to prevent ID fraud by ensuring applicants don’t have multiple licenses, to verify Social Security numbers and to check a person’s immigration status. The new licenses are also meant to be machine-readable and harder to forge.

“A federal law that aims to conscript the states into creating a national ID system, with all the privacy and civil liberties risks … is precisely the kind of scheme that the framers expected that federalism would guard against,” the EFF and World Privacy Forum wrote to DHS officials in 2007. The groups also noted federal court rulings that prohibit Congress from using the U.S. Constitution’s Commerce Clause to “commandeer” state regulatory bodies. 

DYI:  More Bull$hit…The Anti-Federalist were the one’s who feared – and rightfully so – an oppressive centralized Federal Government.  And here we are welcome to the not so secret police state called Amerika.
