Going to Yosemite? Get Your Passport Ready!
This has gotten so out of hand that I’m getting very disgusted with the direction our Government leaders are going. Yes, I know that I am far from the first person to say this (especially in the last few years) but zOMG will we be required to “show our papers” just to freely move around the friggin country now!?
As a good Federal Employee am I going to be required to get one of these flawed IDs -putting all of my personal and private information into another massive Government database (well, lets be honest, another contracted database) with another chance to get leaked and my identity stolen- or else bring a passport to get into my work building!
Arrgh.. I wonder if they can use English-only speaking IT Managers in Sweden. Its clearly time to learn a new language.
From Slashdot:
rev_media writes to tell us that CNN has a few updates to the Real ID act currently facing legislators. The Real ID acts mandates all states to begin issuing federal IDs to all citizens by 2008. Costs could be as much at $14 billion, but only 40 million are currently allocated. Several states have passed legislation expressly forbidding participation in the program, while others seem to be all for it. The IDs will be required for access to all federal areas including flights, state parks and federal buildings. People in states refusing to comply will need to show passports even for domestic flights
