Maine rejects Real ID Act | CNET News.com

Mmmm - and if the Americans end up refusing to have ID cards... will the UK still insist on having them too?

Got to love this bit:

"Real ID is needed to protect the American people from terrorists who use drivers licenses to board planes, get jobs and move around the country as the 9/11 terrorists did," Texas Rep. Lamar Smith, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said in an e-mailed statement.


Err... I'm pretty sure the terrorists were carrying legit drivers licences and passports and what-not. It stands to reason that they'd also have legit ID cards too. Having legit ID doesn't stop anyone from being a terrorist. The people who are still all for ID cards must believe they're magic or something.
