Some may believe my post about RFID (Real ID) with the RF chip (Radio Frequency Chip) is being paranoid or possibly a hoax…
If you still believe that...check out this site about the RF Chip...hey guys and girls RF means Radio Frequency Id means using your drivers license for law enforcement and DHS to enable scanning the RFID from a distance of 3 feet.
A key component of Real ID is the integration of five electronic verification scanning systems
KEY WORD HERE “ELECTRONIC VERIFICATION SCANNING”
One of the five will require interaction between states (Driver License Exchange)
The other four (Passport, Social Security, Birth Records, and Legal Presence) will require interfaces with federal systems, in other words some states will share and require more information on the RFID.
In the Washington state pilot, the driver license/border crossing cards will contain [url=http://blog.cdt.org/2007/12/07/the-real-id-boondoggle-drags-on/]RFID chips readable from as much as 30 feet away. Though the chips contain only a single number referencing a DHS database entry, the technology could be used by terrorists to pick Americans out of a crowd.http://www.homelandstupidity[/url]

It’ll be interesting to see if this ruling holds up:
What the privilege protects against is compulsion [/url]of ‘’testimonial’’ disclosures; requiring a person in custody to stand or walk in a police lineup, to speak prescribed words, to model particular clothing, or to give samples of handwriting, fingerprints, or blood does not compel him to incriminate himself within the meaning of the clause, although compelling him to produce private papers may.Great Idea, Excellent for Law Enforcement...?
I respect our law enforcement safety....but do you trust those criminals that use the weak technology against you? Do you believe what the government is telling you?
A variety of reasons and excuses have led to a convergence of physical and virtual Real ID.
Before you decide I am a paranoid freakin geek...go to these sites…

Throughout our history (and mostly metaphorically for us today) the difference between being dinner or diner depended upon our ability to read and decipher physical cues to behavior. There are a lot of hard-wired mechanisms in each of us that tie our trust of another to physical attributes we can perceive. Leaving aside for the moment whether those mechanisms function effectively or not, a lot of us reserve our trust for another to those from whom we can derive clues to their character from their physical person. Our social interaction and enforcement mechanisms are based on physical restraints and punishment. The virtual world disrupts those mechanisms. Additionally, I believe the anonymity of the virtual world has disabled some restraints that prevented most people from performing a variety of acts. Some of these acts result in an explosion of creativity and invention. Others lead to an explosion of mischief and crime.
