Not a happy new year, DHS Is pushing for REAL ID In 2015

Beginning in 2015, many federal facilities will require a "Real ID" for entry where identification is required.

Several states have opted out of the Real ID Act, a federal mandate to modify the design of state drivers licenses, raising questions about the ability of people in those states to access federal buildings and board commercial aircraft. EPIC, supported by a broad coalition, opposed the Real ID regulations, arguing that many of the required identification techniques, such as facial recognition and RFID tags, compromise privacy and enable surveillance.

EPIC provided detailed comments to DHS about the program and later issued a L6 report: "REAL ID Implementation Review: Few Benefits, Staggering Costs" (May 2008).

DHS is slowly changing states driver's licenses into national "Real ID' cards:

Chris Calabrese, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, said the new timetable will do little to convince holdout states to comply with the law.
 “Nothing has changed,” he said. “It is impossible to imagine DHS keeping the citizens of any of those states off of airplanes…I don't see that most of these states are going to have a whole lot more incentive than they have ever had to do this, which is to say, none.”

On a happier note, a few states are still refusing to allow DHS to create a national ID card they're listed below:

Alaska, Arizona, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma and Washington state do not currently meet DHS's standards.
