You may have thought – hoped – you could dodge the creepy “real” ID driver’s license the feds have been pushing since the terrorists who hate us for our freedoms gave the feds the excuse they needed to take away our freedoms. Including, for instance the freedom to travel.

Without permission, that is.

Without being ear-tagged like a steer, with biometic identifiers unique to each individual, such as a digitized photo (for use with facial recognition technology) as well as a bar code/scannable strip that contains all your vitals such as Social Security number, date of birth, address and so on. Some “real” IDs have RFID chips – which can be used to track/scan you in real time without you even opening your wallet.

And we’re all going to be forced to carry them around.

Because without one, you’ll be stripped of your ex-right and former liberty to travel.

Unable to drive. Unable to travel by air or train.

Like being a “customer” of the DMV or the IRS.

These “real” ID cards are being sold to the populace using the ought-to-tired-by-now (but unfortunately, isn’t) canard about “security” and thwarting would-be evildoers.

In fact, great evil is made possible, made likely, by them – from the merely annoying (identify theft, fraud; all your personal data in one place and now scannable by anyone – not just the benevolent state – with the right equipment ) to the potentially deadly (literally) serious. Has there ever been a free society in which the populace was not free to travel without permission, with their comings and goings subject to cataloging? What is the purpose of collecting, collating and cross-referencing such information? Can it be benign? Has such cataloging ever been benign?

People are – with reason – suspicious.

Which is why a few holdout states have not yet adopted – that is, required – the “real” ID. Which infuriates the feds.

Which explains the news.
