This is like Blackwater changing its name to Xe. No real change, just a new "makeover" to sell it.

This tramples the 10th amendment right of the states by pretending that the new federal Dept. of Homeland Tyranny has a right to dictate standards for drivers licenses to the States. It also attacks your 4th amendment privacy, by setting up the same desired data-mining capabilities to watch every 'free American" on demand.

RFID included.

Tell your Congressmen "no".
