  • citcokid, on 08/24/2008, -2/+22FTA: What does REAL ID do? REAL ID attempts to mandate a standardized process and format for all state drivers' licenses to achieve increased security. Most importantly in this standardized process, REAL ID mandates a certain picture quality. A footnote issued by the Department of Homeland Security establishes this quality as compliant with the ICAO Document 9303 biometric format. The global body setting this format, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), is a specialized agency created under the United Nations. Biometric data can be produced from a simple digital photograph of this quality by running the picture of a person's face through a software program which measures and analyzes the unique, personally identifiable characteristics of that face. The process results in a unique numeric code which identifies a person according to facial measurements. You read that correctly. A unique number or "code" is developed from an algorithmic formula which converts a digital biometric sample to biometric "face print" data. Under REAL ID biometric facial recognition technology, you become a number literally worn on your face - a number which is read by computer, tracked by surveillance camera, and distributed worldwide. Clearly, this international standard provides global compatibility of American citizens' biometric data collected through REAL ID.
  • paiute8, on 08/24/2008, -5/+4I dont believe that our government will pass a law that takes our right away for any thing that would infringe on our freedom of religion but they come at you so fast like email after email afeter email how do you tend. Iam not for that one at all that would make us slaves to them
  • Pitofdoom, on 08/24/2008, -3/+4The evil history displayed by the false god's of this world assures you of what ?
  • Pitofdoom, on 08/24/2008, -3/+4The US Constitution is the best and last worldly fire wall against evil, once gone, many will fall refusing the Word of The Most High !
  • stienster, on 08/24/2008, -2/+11this is the precursor to the one world governance that we will all soon be subjects in. The NWO is not a fairytale or a conspiracy theory. It's been planned and is now in it's final stages of execution. Bible scholars will recognize the implications.
    • Evilena, on 08/25/2008, -3/+2Bible scholars are experts in fairytales, but I still don't believe you.
  • sphira, on 08/24/2008, -2/+11Imagine walking in public or into a building and undergoing face recognition. At the click is everything about you that has ever been recorded(government/corporate). How much of that information that is viewable is only limited by security clearance.
    Your movements, activities, associations, likes and dislikes are patterned; analyzed; and databased.
    Your access to information is directed and controlled.
    Your brainwashed.

    plausible?
    How much of this is happening already?
  • Fangsinmybeard, on 08/25/2008, -1/+6They don't anyone moving around the world without them know about it. Welcome to Gulag USA.
  • GovernmentSp00k, on 08/25/2008, -1/+7They want to track us everywhere we go. It's not enough for their recent FISA sham to listen in to our phone calls, read our emails and spy on us without probable case. Now they want to track us with RFID on a "national ID card." What a scam if there ever was. Bought to you by the numbers 9 1 and 1. Can you feel the freedom?

    What does free airtime on TV free advertising 24/7 MSM promoted corporate puppet McCain or Obama "lesser of 2 evils" (aka our only choices) have to say about this "Real ID" garbage? Are they going to protect our rights as American citizens? Will they fight for us to defeat this draconian, Orwellian farce? Are they going to defend us against this fascist wet dream legislation? Are they going to stand up for us citizens and go NO MORE! or sell us out (again) to appease their owners in effort to further the plan.

    No terrorist could have ever accomplished such blatant destruction of our freedoms, and violations of our rights to privacy as American citizens, like the "freedom fighting" Bush administration has.

    Oh wait...
  • kemp34, on 08/25/2008, -1/+6Line up for your Serf ID people...
  • PolishLogic, on 08/25/2008, -2/+2Sounds like Social Security Number 2.0. We already are defined by a number.

    I'm not a fan of REAL ID, but this article makes some pretty pathetic arguments against it. Most notably the freedom of religion one: "photographs as idolatry". Some people are such silly geese.
    • Kangalanatolian, on 08/25/2008, -2/+3That is why freedom is popular. The right to make their own "silly goose" decisions about how they want to use that freedom. They don't want to run my life, and I don't want to run theirs. That makes them OK in my book.
      • PolishLogic, on 08/25/2008, -2/+3Just out of curiosity, would you feel the same way if their religion involved human sacrifice of the homeless?
      • runderwo, on 08/28/2008, -0/+2Read and understand the non-aggression principle and stop making a fool of yourself.
  • gmdmartyr, on 08/27/2008, -0/+1Prophecy before your eyes.
