Obama scales back "Real ID" law passed by last administration
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...302036_pf.htmlYielding to a rebellion by states that refused to pay for it, the Obama administration is moving to scale back a federal law passed after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that was designed to tighten security requirements for driver's licenses, Homeland Security Department and congressional officials said.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano wants to repeal and replace the controversial, $4 billion domestic security initiative known as Real ID, which calls for placing more secure licenses in the hands of 245 million Americans by 2017. The new proposal, called Pass ID, would be cheaper, less rigorous and partly funded by federal grants, according to draft legislation that Napolitano's Senate allies plan to introduce as early as tomorrow.

Don't matter what they call it. If it has a RFID chip in it, I'll be disabling it.

Curious--what do you do with your passport?

I've got a nice case for the passport that blocks the RFID signal, but my solution would be damn heavy for a DL....

from the article: "The new plan keeps elements of Real ID, such as requiring a digital photograph, signature and machine-readable features such as a bar code." Originally Posted by tes151

And yes passports have RFID chips in them now. Plenty of instructions on how to accidentally deactivate them. They still work find the old fashioned way.
