C|NET News has a great writeup on what the effects of REAL ID are going to be<\/a> to people in different states – depending on whether your state has complied or not.<\/p>\n

There are some SERIOUS problems here of course – for example, you may not be able to go visit your representative in Washington DC if you don’t have a REAL ID – which is a clear violation of your right to petition your government.<\/p>\n

And of course, today the news broke that the Department of Homeland Security is suggesting that REAL ID might be required to buy medicines that contain pseudophedrine<\/a>. Of course, this has absolutely nothing<\/span> to do with the original goal of REAL ID – it’s clear feature creep<\/a> and the start of that slippery slope thing<\/a>… that we were promised<\/span> wouldn’t happen this time (really!).<\/p>\n

As usual, the law – as it was originally passed – was supposed to be used to “stop terrorists.” Now it’s expanded to include immigration control, drug restrictions, and a “big stick” to beat down rebellious states – within our own country! States that have the guts to stand up and say “this is wrong, we won’t do it” are being beaten down with the power given to the DHS by the REAL ID Act.<\/p>\n

Once again, we have taken another step towards becoming a police state. May I see your papers, please?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
