Real ID Act Implementation, Domestic Flight Passport Requirements
The 2005 Real ID Act is moving toward stricter enforcement, potentially requiring residents of non-compliant states like Washington to use passports for domestic flights. The hosts criticize the transition toward a national ID system and note that many conservative southern states were among the first to comply despite previous privacy concerns.
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."
The hosts cite the failure of the federal Real ID program as a successful example of state-level nullification. They criticize the American public school system for failing to teach the true nature of the federalist system and suggest that parents place copies of the Constitution in their homes to counter perceived government brainwashing.
