Dept of Homeland Security up to 1984

[liveonearth]

Interesting discussion here of the REAL ID act, issued yesterday by the DHS. National level ID cards slated for every citizen starting in May 2008!! They work fast, and I have not heard this discussed before today. How can this Department just issue edicts like this? What is our congress doing? Why haven't I heard about this?

A post by a man I read carefully.

I guess I missed it when you brought it up. The last round of passports they generated before the chips have shorter expiration dates--they want to force us all to get trackable. And it looks like they can for the usual reason: the citizenry isn't paying attention/doesn't care. I make a little bit of noise but if everyone made as much noise as me, things would be different.

Glad you're getting stabilized back in OH. Looking forward to regular posts from you again.
