The Real ID Act is a symptom, not the disease!!! It is growing like a weed.
The fact is Real ID is not dead. There is not a short cut that will allow me to explain the basis for my assessment. Arguably, it is the taking of short cuts that has gotten us to where we are today. We listen to sound bites or read short articles that only provide a snap shot at best of what the reality is.
Whether it is a lawmaker, state or national group/organization, or a private citizen there is not a day that goes by where I am not asked about the Real ID Act 2005. Just this week I worked on proposed legislation that will be heard by state lawmakers from all across the country. I was also asked by a well known national organization to do a comprehensive analysis of the Real ID Act 2005. One state director of another national organization asked me to provide evidence that he could send to the national organization he belongs to who thought Real ID was dead. Finally, this morning I received an email not unlike hundreds of others I have received, where a person whose driver’s license was up for renewal objected to forced biometric enrollment. This person wanted to know what options she has.
The result of the requests for information led to this document – click here The document is a comprehensive review of the Real ID Act with solutions provided.
