" I already have a real ID. No, not the federaly mandated one, but a valid ID non the less. So this is supposed to help prevent identity fraud? When was the last time you presented your credit/debit card for payment ANYWHERE and were asked for a photo ID? So now we all get a new "real ID". Would someone please explain to me how this is going to help reduce identity theft? Are retailers going to install retenal and/or fingerprint scanners to compare these new fangled IDs to the person presenting them? Why don't we just tattoo a number on the wrist of everyone (been done before, not real popular) and make sure we have everyone properly registered? "

" Do this is no longer a driver's license but a federally sanctioned ID. I cannot driver anything with it while using it for the purposed stated so it is, in fact, a nationalized ID. Which the Bush administration said they would not do. I don't care about this, a passport is just as good. It's just that I'm not even sure if the president's name is George at this point. Nothing they say ever holds true and it just does't matter anymore when the speak because no one believes them. This is such as sad state of affairs, usually reserved for countries we consider "tyrannical". "

" LOL at all the conspiracy nuts and jesus freaks. The Real ID was about preventing ID theft and discouraging illegal immigration and was the one good thing that the Republican Congress passed. Face it, in the modern world you need an ID and the stronger the ID the better. I don't want some illegal alien claiming he's me and getting me in trouble with the IRS or some bank. "

" written thousands of years ago. The book of Revelation. You know, "mark in the right hand, forehead". National ID requires a fingerprint and an eyescan. It's getting close, ("indeed"). "

" Yes, it is on it's way. Gold, guns and a Good Book. Maybe Al Gore was right. "

" What is on the way? Are you talking the rapture again? Get over it. So Washington wants all the states to have similar features on all state driver licenses, big deal. Why not just have a United States ID and be done with it? Instead of over 100 different types of licenses out there (at least two in each state, sometimes three or four), just have five kinds of licenses for the whole nation. Allow the states to make license plates, but, have the feds make personal IDs. Just remember, the rapture is NOT coming. "

" .Gold, guns and a Good Book, (King James Authorized Version of 1611). It's on it's way. "
