I mumble about Real ID
Jon Udell has posted a podcast interview with me about Real ID. We've both written briefly about it recently. I just listened to the podcast again and must say that Jon is really good at asking the right questions. His questions in the interview are a lot better than my answers.
Plus I don't really sound like that in real life. How do radio people ever get used to hearing their own voice?

CoreStreet's Ben Erwin recently sent this link around to our PIV development group:

One wonders why it is that third-world countries are pushing ahead with smartcard-based driver's licenses and IDs and considering using them to provide access to a range of e-Services, but we can't do it in the US.

"Data on the chip will include not just the citizen’s name and address but also work history, educational background, religion, ethnicity, police record, medical insurance status and landlord’s phone number. Even personal reproductive history will be included, for enforcement of China’s controversial “one child” policy. Plans are being studied to add credit histories, subway travel payments and small purchases charged to the card."
