Keeping politicians' hands off the Net & everything else related to technology
Following on my post yesterday, Tim Lee has written a story at Ars Technica. Anne Broache of CNET also investigated the REAL ID advocacy training DMV bureaucrats are getting.
Update: Ryan Singel on Wired’s Threat Level blog also picked up the story.
So, here’s a question: Are state DMV bureaucrats using or planning to use DHS grant funds to lobby for REAL ID? Whether or not that’s a legal violation, it is certainly an ethical one.
