The comment period on Department of Homeland Security [regulations implementing the REAL ID Act](http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan20071800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2007/pdf/07-1009.pdf) ends early next week. A broad coalition of groups has put together a [Web page urging people to submit their comments](http://www.privacycoalition.org/stoprealid/). The page has instructions for commenting, a quite helpful thing given how arcane the regulatory process is.

Feel free to comment — good, bad, or indifferent — on the regs. My views are known, but the Department of Homeland Security doesn’t know yours.
