Real Id Showdown In SC

Real ID

Homeland Security grants an extension that Gov. Mark Sanford didn't ask for. Under protest and disapproval Mark Sanford refused to comply sighting the cost far outweighs the benefits or Real ID. The Governor's stand was cheered by many that fear the Real ID and the invasion of there privacy. But airport official was bracing them selves for long security lines and the US District courts were flooded with inquires from Attorneys concerned they wouldn't get access o the Federal courts.

At some point someone has to draw a line in the sand Sanford wrote Chertoff. And Mark Adams director of the SC DMV said the Palmetto state is already close to the compliance with Real ID. SC already has Overt and Covert security features.

This will not be the end of this debate as South Carolina has till January 1, 2010 to meet this Real Id program outline requirement. Real ID is a nationwide effort intended to help prevent terrorism, reduce fraud and improve the accuracy of identification documents issued by state governments.

Since 911 all of us has thought of increased security from our national borders to our very own homes. But where is your line in the sand?
