It occured to me that/.'s article here is the first I've heard of this Real ID plan... even though it is the threat to the fundamental liberties of every US citizen. Though I do wonder what people will say when they realize that the government could find them guilty of crimes before talking to them, or that Uncle Sam could litterally know where you are at all times using those RFID tags Homeland Security wants... That's really not the point of my reply.
I want to know- where is NBC; where is FOX or CBS? What happend to CNN and ABC? Why haven't I heard that my government wants to make me carry papers everywhere I go? My fellow citizens should be up in arms about this law but instead are watching the Michael Jackson trial and the report of who did what to who on American Idol. I have this feeling like I want to grab the country and just shake the whole darn thing- look it in the eyes and say "pay attention damnit... your government is becoming your dictator!"

Ahh... thanks for the clarification.
Correct me if I'm wrong... but isn't that technically illegal under the DMCA? I thought cracking or curcumventing proprietary formats was not allowed.
