Per http://endthelie.com/2012/12/21/as-13-states-meet-dhs-real-id-stand..., “The DHS claims that REAL ID implementation is critical for maintaining national security, a claim which is patently absurd given they have waived the screening process for chemical plant employees, allowed airport employees to work without background checks and even somehow allowed illegal immigrants to work as supervisors in airports for two decades undetected...

 

“The DHS noted that Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, met the REAL ID Act of 2005 standards for driver’s licenses and identification cards” already, according to Government Security News Magazine.”

 

Per http://epic.org/press/011108.html, “Secretary Chertoff also indicated that the REAL ID card would be used for a wide variety of purposes, unrelated to the law that authorized the system, including employment verification and immigration determination. He also indicated that the agency would not prevent the use of the card by private parties for non-government purposes. As part of the cost-saving effort, Homeland Security has decided not to encrypt the data that will be stored on the card...

 

“Melissa Ngo, Director of the EPIC Identification and Surveillance Project, said, 'REAL ID creates a United States where individuals are either “approved” or “suspect,” and that is a real danger to security and civil rights.’”

 

 

Anywhere USSSR (United States Soviet Socialist Republic): “Where are you traveling? Papers, please. Your papers do not appear to be in order. You do not have the state’s permission to travel. Turn around and assume the position.” Click, snick. “You are now under arrest. You have no rights. Get in the vehicle.”

 

Enjoy your FEMA camp.
