RealID isn’t needed. Remember this was all part of 9-11, and some fools saying the state IDs are too hard to tell if they’re real, so we need “a standard”. And 24 years we’re finally going to get it. Kind of. At least if you want to board plane. But it’s not going to solve ANYTHING else. It’s not really even going to solve what it was supposed to solve.
“RealID isn’t needed. Remember this was all part of 9-11”
Yep absolutely. And it WILL NOT stop voter fraud. In fact it is your information going into yet ANOTHER database that can be hacked and your identity stolen. It in it’s self is an additional security risk.
As it is the Social Security mandated “ID.me” electronic verification is a huge international security risk on cloud servers around the world. AND it is tied directly to Google and other 3rd party “marketing” services...
It is owned and maintained by a private third party marketing firm in the UK. They should have absolutely NOTHING to do with our U.S. government affairs let alone citizen identification databases. And ID.me is a facial recognition database going into a global database.
ID.me is a huge National Security risk!
What I’ve never understood ,is what verifying ID, or standardizing ID,s have to do with trying to prevent another September 11th.
Mohammad Atta and his boys were all foreign nationals. As such, their ID would have been their passports.
I know the Real ID act was based on a recommendation of the 9/11 commission. Maybe there are some other reasons why it’s good for states to standardize how they issue drivers licenses.
You wonder about the urgency of it as well. It took over twenty years to fully implement this.
Mist state IDs have barcodes that can be scanned.
