One such step is about to become a requirement, or at least, that is what they want you to think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Real ID is a program issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) which has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/real-id\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">declared<\/a>, &#8220;On May 7, 2025, U.S. travelers must be REAL ID compliant to board domestic flights and access certain federal facilities.&#8221; But that isn&#8217;t true, it is what DHS wants you to believe. May 7 is only the date for the &#8220;progressive enforcement&#8221; of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.votervoice.net\/SFHF\/Campaigns\/122494\/Respond\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rule<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Real ID card can be identified by different star <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airlines.org\/real-id\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">designs<\/a> on a driver&#8217;s license, some are encircled with yellow or black. Determining if your state requires this card can be found on this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/real-id\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>. Some states make Real ID optional, not a requirement, and some have passed laws prohibiting it. Currently, there are five states that mandate a Real ID, FL,GA, MS, TX and WY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every person age 18 and over must provide some type of other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsa.gov\/travel\/security-screening\/identification\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">identification<\/a> if they do not have a Real ID card. This may include a passport, passport <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/passports\/need-passport\/card.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">card<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/enhanced-drivers-licenses-what-are-they\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">enhanced<\/a> driver&#8217;s license, foreign government passport, border crossing card, or other types of identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are some who have concerns that this Real ID will mark the beginning of building a national data base that will become <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biometricupdate.com\/202101\/real-id-law-quietly-passes-with-a-possible-win-for-government-watchdogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">digitized<\/a> on smartphones although the DHS <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/real-id\/real-id-faqs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">denies<\/a> this. Another concern is that this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/congressional-report\/116th-congress\/senate-report\/303\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Act<\/a> sets the stage for building a biometric database, which the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsa.gov\/digital-id\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">government<\/a> is encouraging. Facial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsa.gov\/travel\/frequently-asked-questions\/am-i-required-be-processed-biometric-technology-tested-airport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scanning<\/a> at the airport is also not required, although that is not always clearly advertised, and administered through <a href=\"https:\/\/na.idemia.com\/tsa-precheck\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IDEMIA<\/a> which poses concerns for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cchfreedom.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Policy-Insights-Idemia.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">national<\/a> biometric ID system. Just don&#8217;t stand in front of that camera!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Idaho Real ID is called the Star <a href=\"https:\/\/itd.idaho.gov\/starcard\/?gad_source=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Card<\/a> and is <a href=\"https:\/\/itd.idaho.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DMV_New_Drivers_License_2023_FAQ.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">identified<\/a> by a white star in the center of a yellow circle on the driver&#8217;s license. With some searching the fact that a Star Card is not mandatory can be found under Star cards quick <a href=\"https:\/\/itd.idaho.gov\/starcard\/?gad_source=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">facts<\/a> with a <a href=\"https:\/\/itd.idaho.gov\/starcard\/faq.html#choosing-not-to-get-a-star-card\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">link<\/a> to choosing not to get a Star card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More information on Real ID is available in this <a href=\"https:\/\/live.childrenshealthdefense.org\/chd-tv\/shows\/good-morning-chd\/good-morning-chd-031325\/?utm_source=luminate&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=chdtv&amp;utm_id=20250315\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video<\/a> starting at the 1:35&#8243; mark, this <a href=\"https:\/\/childrenshealthdefense.org\/defender\/digital-drivers-licenses-real-id-biometric-surveillance\/?utm_source=luminate&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=defender&amp;utm_id=20250317\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">article<\/a> that also has information on Digital IDs, and in this Alex Newman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yzYpj_93Ly4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video<\/a> starting at the 24&#8243; mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It might be time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cchfreedom.org\/national-id\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contact<\/a> your members of Congress and ask that this unconstitutional law is repealed and stopped.
