Keeping politicians' hands off the Net & everything else related to technology
Poor Stewart Baker. He’s the DHS policy guy who has been pushed forward to argue that signing “MOUs” (memorandae of understanding) with one or two states overcomes the dozen+ states that have passed legislation opposing or rejecting the REAL ID Act.
It’s true that REAL ID has had a good couple weeks. Arizona’s Governor claims to have signed up her state – oh, except for everyone from the ACLU to the John Birch Society saying “Hell NO!”
