"States working to comply with new ID policies"
"by Spencer S. Hsu, Washington Post | March 31, 2008
WASHINGTON - The governors of Maine and South Carolina are working with the Department of Homeland Security to avert a showdown over a federal demand that the states issue more secure driver's licenses.
If the dispute is not resolved by today's deadline, it technically could leave residents of those states unable to board aircraft, officials said.
Forty-six other states, including Massachusetts, have formally sought and received extensions of a May deadline for starting work on the new licenses. Two other states, Montana and New Hampshire, struck a deal a week ago that prompted DHS to grant them extensions they had not requested.
Over the past three years, the department has struggled to fulfill the counterterrorism mandate set by Congress in 2005 to produce the new licenses by May. As the department has missed targets in its timetables, resistance to the plan, known as Real ID, has grown steadily across the country.
The plan was enacted because all but one of the hijackers in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks had acquired, legitimately or by fraud, IDs allowing them to board planes and travel.
Yeah, but it was O.K. for Mossad minders to be living next door to them in Florida... when the "terrorists" weren't living on the Pensacola Naval Air Base!
The law, which overhauls how state ID cards and driver's licenses must be awarded, is meant to combat forgery and fraud by standardizing license data to be shared across government databases.
What, the databases and information they keep losing all over the place?
It requires, for example, that states verify applicants' citizenship status, check identity documents such as birth certificates, and cross-check information with other states and the federal government."
Your PAPERS, Sig Heil!
