Durbin was right. And he didn't even scratch the surface! Anyone who thinks this "Real ID Act" is about getting false ID out of the hands of "The Terrorists" is an idiot: they will simply print their own drivers licenses - this is about forcing the regular population to get used to intrastate passports. This act essentially forces you to have a passport for everyday things like banking, car purchases and certain repairs, checks, etc.
We have literally allowed the Nazification to begin, and we've even welcomed it with eager open arms - all in the name of "Fighting Terror". Crystal clear, pure unadulterated bullshit.
Of course, the irony is that any computer security or ID specialist can tell you that the premise of the bill is utter crap. Like you said, they'll just print their own... -Barry
