Real ID has not made many headlines. It was voted down the first time it was introduced. But then it was reintroduced, and tacked onto the 2005 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Defense, the Global War on Terror and Tsunami Relief. More than 600 organizations have expressed concern over the Real ID Act. Organizations such as the American Association of Motor Addresses cannot be P.O. boxes. That will predictably cause problems for people who may fear for their personal safety -- including judges, police officers or domestic violence victims -- or people who may not have a permanent home, such as the homeless, who may be urgently in need of Medicare or other benefits. There needs to be a procedure to ensure these persons' safety and welfare. The Real ID Act has none.Vehicle Administrators, the American Library Association the Association for Computing Machinery, the National Council of State Legislatures, the American Immigration Lawyers Association and the National Governors Association are among them.

The State Department -- which is going to be use RFID devices in our passports -- is including some safeguards, but the Real ID Act requires none. At a minimum, the Real ID Act ought to be amended to ensure that -- as will be the case with passports -- national IDs have covers that will prevent them from being scanned when closed, and that the data inside will be encrypted so that it cannot be read until, and unless, it has been swiped and activated through a reader.
Private businesses may be able to use remote scanners to read RFID tags too, and add to the digital dossiers they may already be compiling. If different merchants combine their data -- you can imagine the sorts of profiles that will develop. And unlike with a grocery store checkout, we may have no idea the scan is even occurring; no telltale beep will alert us.(CNN)

Who I'd like to meet: The "machine-readable technology" requirement, along with the possibility of Homeland Security add-ons, that raises the most serious risk that the Real ID Act will cause privacy violations. (The fact that the technology must be "common" also raises the already-high risk of identity theft.)
Many commentators predict that radio frequency identification (RFID) tags will be placed in our licenses. (Other alternatives include a magnetic strip or enhanced bar code). In the past, the Department of Homeland Security has indicated it likes the concept of RFID chips. RFID tags emit radio frequency signals. Significantly, those signals would allow the government to track the movement of our cards and us.(CNN)
If you just got you license renewed recently then it should have this on the back of it, this is an RFID chip
RFID chips are in more than just license soon they will be in credit card, medicine bottles, clothes, and even in people skin in the veri-chip form. These will hold all your personal information, D.O.B, social security, ect.
This is wrong on a number levels, and from both a civil liberties and religious grounds not to mention the cost. Weather you are a religious or atheist we need you all unite together to stop this. We need all the help we can get, churches, the ACLU, the constitution party, anyone. We need to get organized and let our voices be heard.
The Real ID Act's identity cards will be required if one wants to drive, visit a federal government building, collect Social Security, access a federal government service or use the services of a private entity (such as a bank or an airline) that is required under federal law to verify customer identity.
-The Real ID act sets up a national database that will hold you personal information.
-this information can be view by any state of the federal government.
-This information is also very likely to be stolen by hackers
-it is not funded by congress and could cost up to $14.6 billion.
