Another semester in the bag. I finished my last Information Assurance course in graduate school this past week. The class was on Trusted Systems and we spent a lot of time discussing the Common Criteria, the ratings, mandatory vs discretionary access controls, and we even created a Protection Profile. All very exciting, I can “assure” you (pun intended). This semester, I decided to do my research paper on a topic that has been intriguing me, having it heard it from those of you in the Real World, and also hearing the particulars from a presentation delivered by the CI Centre, aka “The Centre for Counterintelligence and Security Studies”. The topic is economic espionage, and I’ve become quite interested in it. A good majority of this is occurring through “data leakage” which is the security buzzword of the year. In 2007 alone, both the DuPont corporation and the Denso Corporation have been victimized. A survey conducted in 1999 by PriceWaterhouseCooper and ASIS found that Fortune 100 companies had lost in excess of $49 Billion directly related to the loss of intellectual property!! (Does that horrify anyone else?!). I’ve included some excerpts from my paper for your perusal. (Please refrain from comments regarding the proper use of ABA style): “According to the U.S. National Counterintelligence Executive’s 2005 Annual Report to Congress on Foreign Economic Collection and Industrial Espionage[1] a record number of countries – 108 – were involved in the collection of intelligence and trade secrets. During this time the FBI opened 89 economic espionage cases and had 122 cases pending by the end of the fiscal year in September. The number of illegal export cases conducted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs enforcement team was even worse, with over 1,050 export investigations initiated and more than 2,400 investigations tied directly to the violation of specific Acts and Regulations pertaining to the illegal export of defense technologies[2]. Case Study: DuPont Corporation (2007) The DuPont Corporation was established in 1802 and is responsible for the production of things from black powder in its infancy, to items such as artificial leather, cellophane, ammonia, neoprene, nylon, kevlar, tyvek, and nomex, to name a few. Intellectual property from their R&D department is truly the lifeblood of DuPont. In 2007, the U.S. Department of Justice released the details of one of the most costly corporate espionage cases in history. Gary Min (aka Yonggang Min) was a 10-year DuPont employee and worked as a research scientist where he conducted research on high-speed polymer films. In October 2005, Min accepted an employee agreement with DuPont competitor, Victrex, with an agreed start date of January 2006 and would relocate to their Shanghai office (Min is a Chinese national). Victrex also makes a high-speed polymer that directly competes with DuPont. Min informed DuPont of his career change on December 12th, 2005. During the time period from August 2005 – December 12th 2005, Min had access to the DuPont Electronic Data Library (EDL) server and downloaded over 22,000 abstracts and accessed about 16,706 documents. Min’s access was 15 times higher than the next highest user. DuPont isn’t saying how they noticed the activity, whether through a warning about the extreme amount of documents accessed or through the perusal of database logfiles, but the local FBI and Department of Commerce offices were contacted. It was determined that the documents Min accessed were unrelated to his current research and the net value of the information was estimated at over $400 million by DuPont. Min went to work at Victrex in January 2006 and in February 2006 he uploaded over 180 confidential DuPont documents to his new Victrex laptop. The following day, Federal agents informed Victrex of Min’s actions and they seized his laptop. During the same time, Federal agents searched Min’s home in Ohio and found several computers with DuPont documents marked “confidential” and shredded hard copies of DuPont confidential documents, including some remnants of burned documents in the fireplace. They were also able to stop a disk-erasure program in progress on an external hard drive. Mr. Min plead guilty to the charge of stealing trade secrets and faces a maximum fine of $250,000 and/or a 10-year prison term, plus restitution. He is scheduled to be sentenced on March 29th, 2007. Case Study: Denso Corporation (2007) Denso Corporation is a Japanese company that is a “leading supplier of advanced automotive technology, systems and components for all the world’s major automakers, operates in 32 countries and regions with more than 106,000 associates. Global consolidated sales totaled US $27.3 billion for fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.[3]” On Friday, March 16th, 2007 the Aichi region prefecture police arrested Mr. Yang Luchuan, an engineer at Denso on suspicion of “embezzlement”. The police seized the laptop which contained over 130,000 design specifications and blueprints for over 1,700 Denso products including sensors, robotic arms, and a diesel fuel injection pump. According to a representative from Denso, 280 of these are considered to be classified[4]. Mr. Yang was suspected of downloading the majority of the data in the second half of 2006 and had traveled home to his native China three times in the past 6 months. Prior to arrest, Mr. Yang was able to destroy the hard drive of his laptop, in an obvious attempt to destroy any incriminating evidence. Prior to his arrival at Denso, Mr. Yang worked as an engineer at a Chinese state-run military complex that manufactures missiles and other weapon technologies. The maximum penalty for “embezzlement” under Japan’s Penal Code is 5 years. However, the Japanese Unfair Competition Prevention Law has just recently been raised to 10 years, which is similar to the U.S. Economic Espionage Act. However, there is currently no section of this Law that pertains directly to targeted economic espionage[5]. Next post: I’ll discuss both some of the technical and non-technical methods for helping you mitigate the risk associated with economic espionage. [1] This report is completed in August of each year. The 2006 report will be completed in 2007. This specific report covers from 1 October 2004 – 30 September 2005.

Morning brings our first sea ice. Not the more northerly floe-edge, a term which even I now say with easy familiarity, though I’ve never been there and won’t during this Low Arctic expedition in a warming era for climate. The captain’s latest ice-chart beamed aboard tells him a nearby bay is clogged with small, wind-blown icebergs and pack ice. We zodiac in ice-chilled air through grey waters of “two-ten ice” - sailor-speak for 20 percent cover. Most of the bay is ten-ten, virtually solid cover.

Geoff Green, the charming and exuberant Students On Ice director,hints we might see floe-edge species in this faux-edge ice, especially he hopes, a Bowhead Whale. We prowl the leads in quiet anticipation. My hopes for Narwhal and Ivory Gull are dashed, but Geoff sees spout spray a mile off. Though he gets considerably teased, we accept that it is likely a Bowhead. One group of students gains energy from the brief and misty sighting, since they are drafting a letter to the federal government to help prompt creation of nearby Isabella Bay marine reserve, perhaps the last best critical habitat for Bowheads.

A landing at Padloping proves a shock. We skip from rock to rock along a narrow estuary, which meets a stream and rises to a large freshwater pond. Judging by the droppings, Snow Geese fed on the grasses here in early summer, evidence of the value to wildlife of a concentrated range of productive habitats. Then, above a ridge, we see a tundra plain littered with debris, rusty equipment and leaky barrels. Once a summering camp for Inuit, Padloping became a military station during the early Cold War years of the 1950s, though it has long been abandoned. Students and adults alike are appalled, and like Isabella Bay, a task force is quickly struck, bent on prompting clean-up by the Canadian and U.S. governments. The idea evolves during debate, finally converging on the great value of leaving perhaps a few scattered pieces as a rusting reminder of the strains of global politics.

A final distant polar bear, our fifth seen in four separate sightings, inspects the zodiacs as much with his nose, it seems, as his eyes, before beating a hasty retreat behind the ridge. Three rifle-equipped sailors, who daily had guarded our landing sights, are as relieved as the rest of us that no warning shots or worse were ever required on our expeditions.

Tonight is our final recap, full of stories, impressions, a few songs and a few more tears. Afterwards, the Students On Ice warm up the forward lounge with a dance party. Having been thoroughly chilled today, they’ll chill out tonight. Curfew is extended to 12:30, a rare two-hour extension that earned Geoff a whale of a cheer. Only six hours ahead, wake-up and homecoming are on no one’s mind.

Yahoo Travel: Revamped but Still No Airport Parking

“What Netflix has done for movies and what Amazon has done for book recommendations we’re doing for travel recommendations,” said Jasper Malcolmson, director of Yahoo Travel.

According to ZD Net, the site has just done a complete makeover.Yahoo Travel combines Yahoo FareChase, which finds low-priced air fares, with Yahoo Trip Planner, a social network for travelers and would-be travelers where they can plan trips, create interactive maps and keep online journals and photos, he said. The site will allow people to insert tags, like “romantic” or “family-oriented,” so others can find trips with similar themes. A new “Today’s Picks” section will highlight 10 destinations, and a “Show Me” drop-down box will let people browse based on categories such as beach, art/architecture and nightlife.

The site also will offer hotel and flight options based on the nearest airport to the traveler and the most popular prices chosen by Yahoo users.

In addition, Yahoo is offering Yahoo Messenger Flight Planner, an instant messenger plug-in that people can use to plan trips together in real time. The site also features new mapping technology that allows other, more detailed maps to be layered over a Yahoo map. For instance, people can see details of the ancient Roman Forum ruins on top of the city map of Rome, parking lots at the San Diego airport, and hiking trails on top of the satellite map of the Grand Canyon.

Research from Harris Interactive conducted on behalf of Yahoo found that of more than 2,300 adults 43 percent had not decided where they want to spend their summer vacation and about 70 percent had not locked down their summer travel plans yet.

“Our intention is to become the site for people who haven’t made up their minds about where they want to go,” Malcolmson said.

Here’s a last minute reminder that if you are interested in the ethical issues raised by lawyers using the Internet, I invite you to join me and a stellar panel for an teleseminar on May 29 about ethical issues raised by the ways lawyers use the Internet. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a presentation on this topic with as many years of actual web-related experience as you’ll find on this panel, given that my co-presenters are Kevin O’Keefe and Ben Cowgill.

We’ve split up the topic and plan to allow for plenty of Q & A. I’m covering ethical issues for law firm websites. Please feel free to let me know about the questions and issues you have on this topic in the comments and I’ll try to incorporate that into my coverage. I’m planning to take a historical approach and talk about the evolution of legal ethics and the web from those first days when there were only a few law firm websites, a handful of articles on the topic, and no search engines as we now know them.

Here’s an excerpt from the program description and registration information can be found here.

Sponsored by the Legal Publishing Group of Strafford Publications

Tuesday May 29, 2007
1:00pm - 2:30pm Eastern

Early Discount Deadline, May 11
CLE available for an additional fee

Websites, the Internet and email are the preferred communication and marketing tool for attorneys and law firms, and blogs are a popular way for attorneys to exchange ideas and educate clients. However, there are serious ethical risks for attorneys who use these online communications with clients and potential clients.

Sites and blogs that enable users to email attorneys directly increase ethical concerns. And yet, there are few guidelines for attorneys by the courts and state bar associations.

Do the standard ethical rules regarding lawyer advertising apply? If law blogs are defined as political speech, can states still regulate them as commercial speech?

Listen and participate from your office telephone as our authoritative panel discusses the regulatory future and ethical guidelines for communicating with clients and prospective client via websites and blogs. The panel will feature:

The panel includes:

Benjamin Cowgill, Counselor and Attorney at Law, Lexington, Kentucky, focuses his career in the field of legal ethics. He is the former Chief Bar Counsel for the Kentucky Bar Association and a well-known presenter of CLE programs on various aspects of law office technology, including ethical considerations.

Dennis Kennedy, computer lawyer and technology expert, DennisKennedy.com, LLC, St. Louis, is a well-known consultant, speaker and writer who is considered among the most influential experts on the application of technology in the practice of law. He serves businesses implementing information technology and e-commerce initiatives.

Kevin O’Keefe, president and founder of LexBlog, Bainbridge Island, Washington, is the leading provider of marketing blogs for lawyers. He was a trial lawyer for 17 years, during which he successfully marketed his law firm on the Internet.

The panel will review these and other key questions:

* How can attorneys protect clients’ privacy rights and attorney-client privilege in online communications?

* What are some of the key ethical concerns for attorneys who use websites and blogs to communicate with clients and prospective clients?

* How are the courts and state bar associations currently handling charges of ethics violations involving attorney use of the Internet and email?

Following the speaker presentations, you’ll have an opportunity to get answers to your specific questions during the interactive Q&A session.

*******************************************************************************

Thanks to Strafford Publications for putting this one together. It’s a great opportunity to pick up some ethics CLE credit.

Register for the seminar here.

P.N. 03 (Product Number 03, surely a title indicative of Capcom’s new creative bankruptcy) defies easy generalization. What kind of game is it? Well, visually it’s a first person shooter, but it doesn’t quite play like one. When you’re actually shooting your movement is restricted. Your character, a shapely lass in a tight bodysuit, will auto-target enemies (and you can switch targets) while your primary movements are dodge left or right, jump, and crouch. You can’t shoot at all while you’re moving, so unlike your normal FPS this isn’t a run-n-gun affair. The game itself is kind of a 3rd person shmup, you work for score and clear-times, and you get combo points by stringing together kills. These points are redeemed for bigger and better suits and weapons, armor, etc. I’ve heard people say it’s a kind of music game, and it’s totally not, except that there’s music in it and the character kind of bops to her own rhythm. The music plays no part in the gameplay itself.

Visually the game is very spare, Capcom has chosen a monochromatic look similar to Sega’s Cosmic Smash. The graphics have a kind of seventies-era sci-fi flick: lots of whitish rooms with few decorations populated with well animated robots and as many lasers and missiles as you can shake a pointed stick at.

I have one complaint with the controls, and it’s simply a matter of design more than a flaw. When shooting or performing a special, there’s a slight delay after your last shot before your character returns from her (sexy) shooting stance to a (sexy) neutral one. If you rush the next command, a special move for example, she will completely ignore it. I found this hard to get used to, and because of it there was a constant impression that the controls were laggy or unresponsive - but only during the transition from shooting to moving or performing a special.

There are close to a dozen different suits to acquire, each with a different balance of armor, power, energy and special moves. Some even feature a slow auto fire, which will relieve the stress of frantically pounding on the shoot button.

Bottom line: If you like old-school shooting and you want to see how it would look combined with modern visuals and a FPS motif, P.N.03 might be for you. It’s all about score and clear-times, there’s only a little bit of exploration, thankfully little story, and no puzzle solving to get in the way beyond ‘how do I defeat this boss!?’ Shoot, dodge, shoot, run for the door. Simple, good looking, and unfortunately for Capcom, not a popular idea.

I’m going to cross post this post into Scenes, to get the ball going, it’s no reflection on my preferred style or anything like that. It’s just a scene.

Splendor in the Grass

We lie on the grass sharing thoughts, her and I, and her voice lowers a notch, in the manner it does just before she reveals another piece of herself.
Of course, I know. I can see it in her eyes, and sometimes I smell it on her skin.
Her compact, curved body can stop traffic whereas I….
I can’t stop looking at her, particularly when we window shop and she brazenly grips my arm, pulling me into a boutique. She eyes clothing she’ll never dare wear in public, it’s against her religion. We walk toward the fitting rooms, and I wait, like a salivating male.
She tells me she’s ready, opens the door and my eyes lock onto her lower body. Leather covers her from the waist down, she parts her legs and asks me how they look, turns and inspects her ass in the mirror.
‘I’d like these,’ she says, clearly happy with their feel, or caress, against her cinnamon skin.
She won’t buy them, even though I urge her to take the risk.
‘They look fucking great,’ she’d surely have to be insane, or maybe I’m insane for I can clearly see myself peeling away the second skin on my journey toward her center.
‘Nah….’
Her eyes toyed with mine in the fitting room as they do now, and she aims each question at me. Her mouth is like a sensual gun filled with bullets of possibility.
My fingers pluck away at blades of grass, and she turns on her side, ‘Why bother with men when women relate more with other women?’
I laugh, and offer humor instead, I’m a pure hypocrite and she possibly knows it even though she humors me, my excuses for being tired and allows me to close my eyes, to take a twenty-minute nap just before our lunch hour ends.

She has no idea; her mind couldn’t comprehend the depth.
Within my mind’s eye, she lies naked, like a sacrificial lamb on the altar of my lust. My hand roughly parts her thighs, and I tell her to reveal her needs, only for her to blush and gulp down her saliva. I pinch her left inner thigh, and sure enough, her lips part and she eyes me with confusion. Her deep, brown nipples stiffen. She’s always waited for this moment.

‘I need to hear what you want.’
My rumbling desire gallops within my chest, and this tunes my cunt to a frequency I’d never before known until now. She’s already wet; my palm cups her sex and massages it with thorough up and down strokes, while my eyes lock onto her face. Her tongue lightly licks her upper lip, and her hands creep toward her cunt, parting it to give me all access. Dialogue is unnecessary; I can’t speak but my two fingers slide into her sodden pussy, and jar her to new level. She sings, humming with each stroke. She may be aware, as is her cunt, but I remind her, as I drive my fingers in deep, that I’m fucking her and furthermore, I can keep on screwing her.
‘It’s not like a cock that’ll give out….’ I grunt along the moistened path, and twist my fingers inside, needing to get deeper within her crimson walls. I need to drink, and tell her so. She’s so compliant, so easy, that I quell the urge to slap her. I wonder how she’d react if I…
‘I told you it’d be good… don’t stop fucking me,’ she says, panting away as my wet fingers dig into her right breast. A shrill moan departs her throat and flutters into the air as my lips crowd her clitoris, and her pussy squeezes against my…

If I slide my thumb inside, work it in slowly, maybe I’d work my hand fully inside for her to reach the extra stretchy mile. I swallow her arousal, suckling on her magic, wet button, a button that I pressed. Her engorged labia splay apart, and glisten in sun as while hand nestles within her slippery, hot tunnel to fill her to the brim, and squeeze out every drop of her sweet syrup.

‘It feels so good…’ she says, waking me from my momentary lapse of lust, ‘I can lie in the sun all day.’ Her eyes search the sky, and she nods at her wristwatch, confirming that lunch is over.

‘You had a good nap?’ she rises onto her knees, and has forgotten about her idea on women, with women, fucking women, until they struggle for breath.
‘It wasn’t too bad…’

Predicting the future in interactive marketing is like playing lotto. In an environment that is changing on daily basis predicting future for a next few years can be a risky business. But somehow we can not resist the temptation. The media guru Jack Myers, for example, forecasts the fall of broadcast television. In his opinion video games will experience the largest growth. In his 2006 Marketing and Advertising Spending Forecast his states that in-game advertising will grow by 40 percent in 2006, though it will still represent less than one percent of total ad spend. Online advertising, on the other hand, will grow by 27 percent to reach a 6.4 percent market share. Other predictions for 2006 include movie screen advertising grow by 25 percent and branded entertainment, local and regional cable, and custom publishing less than 20 percent each. Of course, first of all, these figures can be very different country by country, but if we look at a overall forecast I mostly agree that the online advertising will gain a higher market share. But the figures of course can be very different. In Europe, for example… There some countries that are looking forward to brake the 2% mark and obviously can not expect a 6% adspend share in the year 2006. Although this means that in terms of growth the figures can be much higher. But when we are looking at the video game advertising there is a difference in approach, for video games can be widely distributed and so they can have a good market penetration in different countries. I think that big advertisers, who see the advantage in this approach, will go for it. But the biggest issue in my opinion is Mobile advertising. This is an adspend bomb that is ticking and nobody knows when it will explode. But when the time will come it will grab a big adspend share.
What is your opinion on the issues?

http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2007-05/uom-eng050907.php”Scientists examining documents dating back 3,500 years say they have found proof that the origins of modern medicine lie in ancient Egypt and not with Hippocrates and the Greeks.
The research team from the KNH Centre for Biomedical Egyptology at The University of Manchester discovered the evidence in medical papyri written in 1,500BC – 1,000 years before Hippocrates was born.
‘Classical scholars have always considered the ancient Greeks, particularly Hippocrates, as being the fathers of medicine but our findings suggest that the ancient Egyptians were practising a credible form of pharmacy and medicine much earlier,’ said Dr Jackie Campbell.
‘When we compared the ancient remedies against modern pharmaceutical protocols and standards, we found the prescriptions in the ancient documents not only compared with pharmaceutical preparations of today but that many of the remedies had therapeutic merit.’
The medical documents, which were first discovered in the mid-19th century, showed that ancient Egyptian physicians treated wounds with honey, resins and metals known to be antimicrobial.
The team also discovered prescriptions for laxatives of castor oil and colocynth and bulk laxatives of figs and bran. Other references show that colic was treated with hyoscyamus, which is still used today, and that cumin and coriander were used as intestinal carminatives.
Further evidence showed that musculo-skeletal disorders were treated with rubefacients to stimulate blood flow and poultices to warm and soothe. They used celery and saffron for rheumatism, which are currently topics of pharmaceutical research, and pomegranate was used to eradicate tapeworms, a remedy that remained in clinical use until 50 years ago.”See the above page for the full story.

How to get rid of a guy - fast!(Mimi, have you lost your marbles? Why are you writing about how to get rid of a guy?)Because today’s article is about what NOT to do if you want to keep the interest of a man who has not yet made a commitment to you.This is written especially for the women who have written me who are very upset that they have made an embarrassing mistake with a man, or that they want a certain man which they do not currently have.I see a lot of pain in the emails I receive lately. It makes me sad to see my readers hurting. So this particular message is for these women - who in my opinion do not appreciate how special THEY are. They are focused on how special a certain man is and that is all they are able to think about for the moment.Of course, men do not think the way women do. When a woman is in a relationship, she is focusing on him and on her emotions.Emotion is certainly present for a man, but in a different way. Men and women each have built-in triggers which the wrong words at the wrong time can set off.If you set off the wrong trigger in a man, you can be almost certain that he will be finding any excuse to head out the door to start looking for a woman who is not so easy to attain.In my opinion, the woman should never be the first one to say “I love you.”You may be feeling this love for him; it may be true; and it may be true for him. But until HE says these words to you, he is not ready for it. (Also, be sure your BS meter is running and you aren’t hearing those words in an attempt to woo you briefly and then drop you flat. Hey, it still happens ALL the time - and to younger and younger women and girls. That bothers me greatly.)When you are in the mood to say “I love you,” you may be thinking that you are willing to lay your heart on the line for a man you have fallen for. That is a noble thought and I understand it well. And who will be feeling really bad shortly thereafter? You will, if you make the mistake of saying those three little words first.When a man truly loves you and is in love with you - the kind of man you want, that is - he wants to shout it from the housetops. He wants to show you off to everyone. If you are not seeing THAT kind of reaction - then distance yourself emotionally.I’m not telling you to be rude or unkind or to even stop seeing the guy. I’m telling you that you need to be your own best friend and protect yourself. What’s more, you need to be in the frame of mind that whether this man likes you, loves you, or not - is not going to make or break your life!Yes, you might get your heart broken over someone. But you know what? You will move on. You will get over this man and find that there is more to life than any one particular man - no matter how special he is to you. Trust me that this is true.Instead of focusing on how special a man is, focus on how special and unique YOU are. Show off your best qualities by making yourself the best person you can be, inside and outside. Trust that when the time is right for you, a good relationship that is worth waiting for will happen in your life.Now, for you purists out there, and I know you’re out there, yes. I know that there are men out there who will not bolt and run if you say “I love you” first. (Gotta love those guys, too.)However, those same men will bolt and run if you have been acting clingy and as if your entire emotional future depends on their acceptance of your undying love.Besides, if you say ‘I love you’ first, that is kind of like peeking at the Christmas presents. It spoils all their plans. They want to do the wooing and pursuing - don’t ever forget that. If they are not actively wooing you, they are not interested in you.For some readers, all of this is well known information that they already follow in their lives. But many, many of my readers need to hear this. Being head over heels in love makes us vulnerable - and makes us do crazy things. One of the craziest times of all is right after a divorce - if that’s your situation, hang on to your hat - be careful.For more advice and free emails on this subject, be sure to visit IrresistibleToMen.com.Mimi Tanner reveals the secrets of flirting and getting the attention of your man.

Opposition to National ID Continues to Grow
May 11, 2007
By Tom DeWeese

Five states, Idaho, Washington, Montana, Arkansas and Maine, have enacted legislation informing the federal government that their states will not comply with the Real ID Act, a law passed by Congress in 2005 which will essentially transform driver’s licenses into a national ID Card.

The Act requires each state to change their driver’s license system to meet national standards and ensure that their databases are linked with other states and is set to take effect by May, 2008.

Under the Act, states and federal government would share access to a vast national database that could include images of birth certificates, marriage licenses, divorce papers, curt ordered separations, medical records, and detailed information on the name, date of birth, race, religion, ethnicity, gender, address, telephone, e-mail address, and Social Security Number for more than 240 million with no requirements or controls on how this database might be used. Many Americans may not have the documents required to obtain a REAL ID, or they may face added requirements based on arbitrary and capricious decisions made by DMV employees.

States are in revolt primarily because they simply cannot afford to comply. Estimated costs for full implementation are as high as $14.6 billion (or $292 million per state. Moreover, individuals will have to cover an additional $7.8 billion in additional fees, raising the price tag for the Real ID Act to $23 billion. In many cases the technology necessary for compliance actually does not exist. Moreover, in March, 2007, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released 162 pages of proposed regulations which States are supposed to implement as part of the Real ID Act.

Under the DHS dictates, the Real I D Act is nothing more than a federal take over of state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMVs). Everything for the color of the card backgrounds to the fonts used must conform to federal standards. States will have to completely overhaul their systems to comply.

The DHS requires states to set up information databases that are shared by all states, to allow information verification for driver’s licenses, passports and foreign documents, yet the technology to do that doesn’t yet exist. There isn’t even a national database system yet in place to verify birth certificates.

The DHS regulations do nothing to protect individual privacy in its proposed data bases. It conveniently says it “would be outside its authority to address this issue (privacy).” It simply leaves the issue for states to work out.

The DHS regulations require that every citizen applying for a driver’s license must present two verifiable documents to prove identity. That requirement alone will create massive lines and backups in DMVs across the nation as every single American will have to provide such information. Worse, the same documentation will be required for RENEWAL as well. Some estimate the time required to get a new driver’s license will be at least four months. Proof of address must be shown with not just one document, but two. Birth certificates must be verified with state vital records offices, even though, as stated, there is no database from which to access such information.

And the new system will do absolutely nothing to stop terrorists or illegals from acquiring driver’s licenses, nor will it protect us from identity theft. Because the DHS acknowledges that it needs an exemption allowing individuals to bypass many of the states’ verification and document requirements, identity thieves and terrorists will have huge loopholes to exploit to obtain Real IDs.

These are the reasons why the five states mentioned above have passed legislation refusing to comply. They simply can’t.

In addition to those five states, thirteen more states have passed legislation in one chamber of their legislatures to refuse compliance, including; Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Missouri, Minnesota, Georgia, South Carolina, West Virginia, Vermont and New Hampshire.

Nine states have introduced legislation that is still waiting action including; Oregon, Texas, Nebraska, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Massachusetts.

The federal government overstepped its Constitutional bounds when it tried to force the creation of a National ID on Americas. Now the states are what they should always when faced with that situation – they are saying no. Hopefully that will become a habit.
