Big Bro' in da house (and Senate)

Police State: -a totalitarian régime that uses the excuse of constant war to permit police to surveil the entire population.

The national RealID has been approved. Oh Shit.

Bill Summary & Status for the 109th Congress

Title: To establish and rapidly implement regulations for State driver's license and identification document security standards, to prevent terrorists from abusing the asylum laws of the United States, to unify terrorism-related grounds for inadmissibility and removal, and to ensure expeditious construction of the San Diego border fence.

The Senate just approved this. 100-0. Why is this bad? Schneier has a really good easy on the subject.
Is everything over now? Almost.
I better start practicing my Jedi mind tricks.
You don't need to see my identification.

Remember when the republicans used to stand for a government that stays out of the life of the individual?

Maybe I will start my own country after all.
