Real ID

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

During this congressional session, the General Assembly will decide whether to accept the Federal Real ID Act, or to pass legislation against it. This Act introduces significant privacy concerns including some present on the license itself and an online database that shares information with every other state! So if a hacker can’t break into one state’s system, they would just have to try a different state’s computer system. On top of that (not that I’m for federal funding for anything, but if they’re going to mandate it, they need to pay for it), they don’t provide for funding. So make a difference, do something about it.
