Idaho Driver’s Licenses Suspect

At Boise State Public Radio (KBSX News FM 91.5), Jessica Robinson reports: “What if you showed your driver’s license to verify your credit card, buy a drink or get on a plane — and it wasn’t accepted? That’s starting to happen to people from Idaho because of a federal law. The REAL ID Act of 2005 is an anti-terrorism law that calls for certain security measures on state-issued ID cards. States should verify and store original documents proving legal status and eventually link to a national database. The law calls for tamper-proof features on cards. Idaho’s system wasn’t up to snuff and Homeland Security was done giving the state a pass.” More here.

Question: Would you give your legislators a piece of your mind if you couldn’t use your driver’s license to get on a plane or to verify your credit card?
