WASHINGTON - Americans born after Dec. 1, 1964, will have to get more secure driver's licenses in the next six years under ambitious post-9/11 security rules to be unveiled Friday by federal officials.
The Homeland Security Department has spent years crafting the final regulations for the REAL ID Act, a law designed to make it harder for terrorists, illegal immigrants and con artists to get government-issued identification. The effort once envisioned to take effect in 2008 has been pushed back in the hopes of winning over skeptical state officials.

Nothing.
My thoughts exactly. Hasn’t the Homeland Security heard about us boomer tough-guys? Ever heard of RAMBO...hello? ;)
Because by the time the government gets around to implementing it, the year will be 2064.
Because there are no terrorists, illegal immigrants, or con artists over the age of 43?
Big new encroachment on states rights. But since it doesn’t effect the Boomers, who cares?
So my next visit to the DMV will be even more enjoyable and service friendly. How lovely.
BTTT
im hosed
Some pigs are more equal than others.
But since the Boomers want to loot 70+ trill from the X-er's I expect they will want to keep us on a tight leash.
Fourteenth Amendment Section 1: No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
What a pathetic joke the Constitution has become.
wait....AFTER.....im freeeeee
Argh!
I just hope and pray the politicians don’t mess this up. We need the law.

I don’t mind this requirement (I like it in fact) but I HATE that it applies only to people in their 40s and younger—I’m getting tired of Boomer and Senior exemptions for everything.
In my city, a parcel tax for schools was passed because it EXEMPTED seniors, but they could still vote for it (and so did), and they are the wealthiest group in my community!
Just like communists. Educate the youth and gradually phase out the educated and intelligent elders by attrition.
Missouri told the feds to GTH. We hae our own program and it is the state responsibility for tracking it’s citizens.
No, we do not.
What do you mean “...politicians don’t mess this up”? We need about a 10 yr moratorium on these leeches called “lawmakers”. No more new laws are needed at all. These people “mess it up” whatever they touch.
“These people “mess it up” whatever they touch.”
BUMP
