This is getting absolutely nuts! So we issue Federal standards for state ID and drivers' licenses, but it's not a national ID card - it only contains Federally-mandated requirements for state IDs. Then we allow the states to issue them to anyone - including illegal aliens - because we can't "profile" or "discriminate". We'll only be able to require a certain percentage of Arabs/Muslims to produce the "REAL (not-national) ID" before we're accused of profiling. And this is going to protect us from the threat of terrorism how...?!

Correction: "Then we allow require the states to issue them to anyone everyone -" See the provision about withholding federal assistance to States that don't comply.

Then there's this:

SEC. 202. MINIMUM DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS AND ISSUANCE STANDARDS FOR FEDERAL RECOGNITION.

(a) Minimum Standards for Federal Use-

(1) IN GENERAL- Beginning 3 years after the date of the enactment of this Act, a Federal agency may not accept, for any official purpose, a driver's license or identification card issued by a State to any person unless the State is meeting the requirements of this section.
