You can check on what your state is doing to comply with, or reject the national citizen control and monitoring mechanism known as Real ID.
Here is a handy map to keep you up to date on the status of your pending mandatory federal ID.
This is what my home state of Georgia had to say in legislation rebelling against Real ID:
The Governor of the State of Georgia, or his or her designee, is authorized to delay compliance with certain provisions of the federal Real ID Act, H.R. 1268, P.L. 109-13, enacted by Congress in 2005, until it is expressly guaranteed by the Department of Homeland Security, through adequately defined safeguards, that implementation of the Real ID Act will not compromise the economic privacy or biological sanctity of any citizen or resident of the State of Georgia. This Code section shall not be interpreted as limiting the Governor´s discretion or authority to delay compliance with certain provisions of the Real ID Act for any other reason."
There are a lot of states that don’t plan to comply by the deadline, or at all. It should prove interesting when the fedgov stops letting you fly without your federally approved identification. More knee jerkism and useless bureaucracy, in my opinion. Politicians are good at finding ways to waste time and money though.
Thanks, Sensenbrenner, you schmuck.
