Please read. How Not To Blog - REAL ID is not an identification card. It's a national surveillance infrastructure

The background is that the US government has just sneaked an ID Card bill through on the back of a very large budget allocation for Homeland security. It calls for all the same things that have been mooted for the UK ID card. A centralised database, machine readable ID cards, embedded biometric information.

Don't let them try the same thing in the UK. The much reduced Labour majority will make it considerably more difficult, but it's still worth supporting people like No2ID. [from: JB Ecademy]
