Louisiana Rejects REAL ID

By Jim Harper

Melissa Ngo reports and comments on her “Privacy Lives” blog about the passage of a particularly strong anti‐REAL ID law in Louisiana.

There’s a gem in the comments from a military veteran on the notion that the Veterans Admininstration might withhold benefits to those not having a national ID as required under the REAL ID Act:

I would suggest those who are in office stop thinking you are in control of the American people. I for one went to war once, I am not afraid to do so again. The government serves the people, not the other way around.
