*More Information*

Real ID has not yet been implemented

26 states have said “No” to this act.

Oklahoma rejected REAL ID (

SB 464

)

yet Washington DC seems determined to forcebiometric identification upon us

The Real ID Act 2005 mandated that facial recognition technology be used for all drivers’ license photos;facial recognition, a biometric, measures distances between facial characteristics - specific parts of themouth, eyes, nose and so on – and digitizes this information. Using this technology, each citizen would be enrolled into a single global biometric identification system.

No matter where a person is - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma or Paris, France – that person can beidentified with the use of facial recognition technology. Closed circuit televisioncameras/surveillance cameras (CCTV) and linked computer systems make possible remotesurveillance and global information sharing.

PASS ID

coming soon!

The PASS ID Act SB 1261

(also a biometric national ID but also will contain an RFID chip as well)

isexpected to be foisted upon Americans this year and we do not want to reach the end of this session withoutsome protection in place.Real ID and the PASS ID Act both are terrible legislation! In a rare agreement: Both the American CivilLiberties Union (ACLU) and the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), representing the left and theright, stand opposed to the federal Real ID Act of 2005.

S. 1261, the "Providing for Additional Security in States' Identification Act of 2009" orthe "Pass ID Act"or

The PASS ID Act

does

not

improve the most objectionable aspectsof the Real ID Act of 2005. For example;1.

The PASS ID Act requires a biometric facial image on all state driver’slicenses and ID cards. Just like Real ID

.Facial recognition software, biometric scans, and radio frequency (RFID chip) trackingalong with

linking of widely disparate databases

taking place, will make trulypervasive surveillance and control possible.2.

The PASS ID Act would allow a RFID chip to be embedded in the licenses.

PASS ID prohibits federal agencies from accepting any non-compliant formsof ID for official purposes like boarding an airplane, entering a federal buildingor receiving benefits like Social Security

. (Remember-these are tax-payer fundedinstitutions and programs!)4.

National ID systems such as PASS ID create inherent and substantialrisks of fraud and identity theft.
