Just as they did with REAL ID, the Feds insist that PASS ID is not a national ID – oh, my, no. So what if every American has a uniform card that he must constantly show to government’s goons? That’s not a national ID, you silly citizen, you!

The history of REAL ID should inspire friends of freedom to once again vigorously oppose any and every federal grab for their personal information.
