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. Even with more time, more federal help, and technical advances, REAL ID still faces stiff opposition from civil liberties groups. To address some of those concerns, the government now plans to phase in a secure ID initiative that Congress passed into law in 2005. Now, DHS plans a key deadline in 2011, and then further measures to be enacted three years later, according to congressional staffers who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because an announcement had not yet been made. DHS officials briefed legislative aides on the details late Thursday. The Sept. 11 attacks were the main motivation for the changes. The hijacker-pilot who flew into the Pentagon, Hani Hanjour, had a total of four driver's licenses and ID cards from three states. The DHS, which was created in response to the attacks, has created a slogan for REAL ID: "One driver, one license." By 2014, anyone seeking to board an airplane or enter a federal building would have to present a REAL ID-compliant driver's license, with the notable exception of those more than 50 years old, Homeland Security officials said. The over-50 exemption was created to give states more time to get everyone new licenses, and officials say the risk of someone in that age group being a terrorist, illegal immigrant or con artist is much less.

I therefor propose the "Too Much ID act", exempting peaceful citizens from government tomfoolery and malfeasance. No? Well would you vote for me if I passed a law to define exact size, shape, and weight of plastic whistles? I have the clout to make it happen, just don't want to use it up all at once, dig?

That is the reason - to lessen the opposition because the young heads full of mush will accept this without much of a thought. They don't know what it is like to be free.

Then they can't drive or fly or be conscripted. Comrade Jerkoff, as incompetent as he may appear to be with regards to Katrina rescue efforts and protecting our Southern border, is actually quite crafty and he loves them American boys being prevented from escaping from Cannon Fodder for Israel Corp.
I'll liquidate anyone who tries to conscript them for cannon fodder for banker's and corporate wars for profit when they come to the door.

Also - no offense to male over the hill types - 50 plus year olds are not very useful as cannon fodder. That's what the real ID drivers license is about - a tool to prevent escape from this country - when another useless foreign war is declared, with a few quick entries into HS computer, all 18-25 males are stopped from crossing the US border outward bound.
SB60, the California version has passed the Senate and is in the Assembly to the third reading which means it's up for a final vote.
Old T'rrsts are not a problem? I wonder what Chertoff's personal mental evaluation tests look like.
Ron Paul for President - Join a Ron Paul Meetup group today! LOL! The only positive thing to look forward to is that in the near future Comrade Jerkoff will be ex-HS Director and then Mighty Michael becomes a member of the sheeple class who needs to get Real ID driver's license at which point his travels will be tracked and analyzed... oh darn that weasel was born in 1953 so he's exempt. Rats.
Do suppose that's the reason for the date of 1964? The youngest NeoCommie/ZioNazi weasel was born in 1963?
