Real ID ominous, like papers communists used
Kennebec Journal & Morning Sentinel 05/20/2008

This Real ID stuff is really ominous.

Are you sure that you can prove that you are who you are? Do you have all of your documents in order? If not, well, who knows?

You may not be able to board a plane, you may not be able to get a driver's license or passport. You may not be able to leave the country. If you discover that Real ID is a bad idea, you may not be able to undo it, because you may not be able to vote!

I have a friend who grew up in a communist country. He told me that the Nazis instituted ID requirements when they took over his country. The communists loved it and kept it on.
