Your regular driver's license isn't linked by computer to a central database in DC.

LOL, almost true!

Each state has a DB and any LEO can access those DB's through a centralize computer system.

Really no difference!

"Each state has a DB and any LEO can access those DB's through a centralize computer system.

Any LEO IN THAT STATE--but not any LEO from ANY state.

"Really no difference!"

Sorry, but I don't believe that. Why do we suddenly need "REAL ID", when we didn't during WWII, or the "Cold War". The need to identify "bad guys" was as acute then as it is today, yet no such ideas were promulgated.
