Maine’s Concession?

Published on April 3, 2008 in News, Politics, Privacy and Real ID. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .

Well, I have fallen behind on update the spencerb.net-o-sphere on Real ID, but I will give you a quick catch up that divulges to you most of my knowledge.

First of all, March 31, 2008 was the deadline for states to file for an extension. Several states including South Carolina, Maine, New Hampshire and Montana held out to the end. Keep in mind that filing for an extension is by no means a commitment to enforcing this law. A larger number of states including New Hampshire, Maine, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Washington and Montana have expressed their hesitancy toward enacting Real ID.

I found this paragraph of the above linked the cnet news article particularly interesting:

In political terms, that’s a long time–and a new presidential administration–away. Some opponents of Real ID are already predicting that no state will actually comply with the deadline, or, alternatively, the next administration will find a way to quietly dispose of Real ID without much fanfare.

The justification for this argument is that in order for the Department of Homeland Security to not look completely silly they took the promises of Governors as enough to grant an extension until December 31, 2009. The May 11, 2008 deadline for enactment will be enforced for 0 of the 50 states. When Maine was threatening non-compliance for the May 11, 2008 DHS countered that Maine citizens would no longer fly. What sort of world would the U.S. have descended into if we restricted the citizens of Maine from flying on commercial airliners. I am sure that would have been great for the airline industry bottom line, not to mention basic rights of U.S. citizens.
