Real ID Act, L1 Identity Solutions and James Loy
Florida has begun implementing the REAL ID Act, which will require a "gold star" on driver's licenses for citizens to board airplanes or enter federal buildings by 2014. The program is being managed by private corporations like L1 Identity Solutions, whose board includes James Loy, the former Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security. Loy defended his transition from government to a private company profiting from the legislation he helped create as "the American economic way."
