You go, Massachusetts!

Massachusetts Joins the Real ID Fight.

While, in theory I'm not opposed to a standardized, national ID, I don't see it as helping at all nowadays, and likely only making things worse. I mean, if Government agencies can't keep track of critical parts of their computers, how are we supposed to trust them to keep a database of every American safe? If that wouldn't be a juicy target for identity theft, I don't know what is.

Also, weren't most of the 9/11 hijackers here legally with unforged documentation? I don't see how requiring them to get slightly different ID's is going to help. Especially when illegal immigrants can get legal ID anyhow.
