Could the Real ID Act and 511 be an excuse for setting up a Police State

within D.C.? According to this column, the act allows Homeland Security to barricade a city. Now all they need is an excuse.

"For states, the kicker is that the Real ID process is to be handled through their driver licenses agencies, and licenses will have to be reissued to meet standards established by the Department of Homeland Security. Homeland Security will determine if the driver's license/ID cards are acceptable and can be used for any official purpose.

It's being handled through Homeland Security because this is another part of the administration's war against terrorism, although it has been noted the 9/11 hijackers were in the United States legally and had legally issued driver's licenses.
Ostensibly, it also will help control illegal immigration while tightening access to the United States. Literally. Besides identification cards, the measure allows Homeland Security to construct physical barriers wherever it deems appropriate for security, be it on the Mexican border, the Canadian border, around government buildings, maybe even along state lines.

While you're thinking about that, you also might ponder the possibility of having to present your driver's license/ID card to cross a state line or get into - or out of - a city, all in the name of national security."

I hope the police state gets here soon, the tv said that those brown people's level of hated for our freedoms is at an all time high. Only a matter of time before they smite us infidels once again. /sarcasm off

Are we enjoying our time in the water yet?

I love your "Parable of the Frogs" image. So true.

Not at all. Rather, they're some of the MEANS for setting up a police state.

so why not
