Do you have a passport?

If You Live In These States You’ll Soon Need A Passport For Domestic Flights.

ZeroHedge: 

To comply with the 2005 Real ID Act, which the U.S. government has been slowly implementing for the past decade, citizens in a number of different U.S. states will now be forced to obtain a passport if they want to board an airplane – even for domestic flights.

The Department of Homeland Security and representatives with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection have declined to comment on why certain states have been singled out, but starting in 2016, residents of New York, Wisconsin, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and American Samoa will need a passport to fly domestically. All other states will still be able to use their state-issued driver’s licenses and IDs — for now, at least.  MORE

  1. So to take a flight on an airplane, a passport proving who you are will be required, But voting for the people that control government (spending and everything else) at all levels is so inconsequential that no form of ID is needed?

  2. This is total bullshit, though I’d like to see them enforce this on “the oppressed” who don’t get ID to vote.

    Moreover, I see this as positioning towards Soviet-style internal passports. You know those people were not allowed to move freely even inside the USSR. If someone was born in Novosibirsk or Vladivostok, that’s where they lived for life, unless they applied to move (with a “good reason”) and granted permission by the government. Many people moved anyway, but could never do anything official, rendering even Soviet citizens as “illegals” inside Soviet–even Russian– borders.

  3. The real id is a driver’s license with a gold star printed on it. It proves you are an American.
    I obtained my “Real ID” last year when I got my Alabama License renewed. I had to supply 3 pieces of identification:
    Original Birth Certificate, Social Security Card, Passport, United States Military Form DD 214, or W2 tax form. I also had to supply 2 documents that proved my address (ie utility bill, or property tax bill).
    The reason for the Real ID is because Kalifornia issues license to illegals.

  4. US citizens have been subjected to and willingly “accepted” law enforcement road blocks and ID checks.

    Tyranny is established through government’s incremental chipping away at individual’s constitutional rights. The pace is quickening.

    What comes after mandatory passports?
    Tattoos on your forehead for easy recognition by our government handlers??

  5. You’re right on the money!

    Put another way, we need stupid people and illegals voting multiple times, so we can send people to DC who pass freedom killing, hive-producing laws like “Real ID Act” so the elites can control the Public Trough®, fight against radical “Constitutional” wingnuts (like us!) and track our every move.

  6. Yeah, you pay the fat cocksuckers to sit on their asses all day and then you have to pay em again to do their fucking jobs – and you have to pay a premium if you want it done in a timely manner!

    I am NOT shitting you.

  7. Everyone needs to read the Supreme Court decision, Crandall v Nevada, 73 US 35.

    In 1865, Nevada imposed a tax of $1 on everyone leaving the state by public conveyance. Mr. Crandall was the agent of a stagecoach company and refused to pay the tax. In the most perfect example of how taxes violate rights, this gem is to be found in the decision:

    No counsel appeared for the plaintiff in error, Crandall, nor was any brief filed in his behalf.

    The reason? Because to appear before the court would force the defendant (the plaintiff in error) to pay a tax! Beautiful! You have a right to redress of grievance and as far as I know, rights are not taxable.

    Forcing people to carry a passport for interstate travel is more of the same. Just because it is a “fee” makes it no less of a tax. The state of Nevada tried to claim the tax was on the business and not on the person. That laughable contention was dismissed by the court, and rightly so because all taxes are merely passed on to the consumer.

    I’m not saying THIS court would strike down the law. I’m just saying the court has already decided this issue over a century ago.

  8. what you say is true. I just got back from there and our guide is living proof. even though she lives elsewhere her residency is in the city she was born in. She can’t vote. This also throws off population counts. Moscow has 10 mil officially, but due to those that are not registered the real number is 12 mil

  9. True! My wife grew up in the USSR. She had an internal passport that was required to travel within the USSR. Don’t even think of moving to Moscow without government permission or you’ll end up in jail. You live where you’re told to live.
