Homeland Security blinks on Real ID: No hassles on May 11

April 3, 2008

Homeland Security announced Wednesday that all 50 states and the District of Columbia will be technically Real ID-compliant by the May 11, 2008 deadline–even though many states actually have rejected the concept and have zero plans to embrace a national ID card.” (CNET News)
