Real ID is Too Risky in an Age of Orwellian Globalism Over two decades since its inception, Real ID is about to finally be enforced nationwide. It is the precursor to biometric data collection and surveillance of American citizens. Real ID has been in the works since the Bush era as part of the War on Terror reforms that have included the Patriot Act, FISA secret courts and ubiquitous NSA spying. It is a de facto national identification system that proved controversial after its passage. Ultimately, a movement of state-level resistance forced the Real ID Act to be sidelined. The states refused to comply, believing Real ID was a fundamental violation of their sovereignty. The implementation of Real ID kept getting delayed, but it appears its time has finally come. With a flooding of mass migration and major election integrity concerns, the idea of Real ID is becoming more appealing to conservatives in search of answers to lingering national crises. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is telling Americans that they must comply with Real ID mandates to board airplanes. "You will need a Real ID to fly. Real IDs make identification harder to forge, thwarting criminals and terrorists. If you plan to fly, make sure you get a Real ID so you won’t be denied from your flight or face travel delays!” DHS Secretary Kristi Noemsaid in an X video released on Apr. 11. “These IDs keep our country safe because they help prevent fraud and they enhance security. Please do your part to protect our country,” she added. sounds like a Trojan horse to me. The announcement shoul be met with loud opposition from conservatives who believe Real ID is an unnecessary and cumbersome bureaucratic requirement at best and a grave step closer toward a federal police state at worst.
