REAL threats for federal ID mandates

Written by

The US federal government is threatening states who don’t participate in the REAL ID Act.    

A showdown is looming. If the Real ID law stands, residents of states that refuse to comply wouldn’t be able to use their driver’s licenses as identification to engage in federally regulated activities, such as boarding airplanes or entering a federal court house. The law sets a deadline of May 11, 2008, though states could apply for a five-year extension. — Boston
