I was updating my drivers license recently and found out that new federal laws will require a special "red star" be placed on our Drivers License if we want to travel on airplanes inside the US when an ID is required. They are transforming the drivers license into a passport, and anyone that does not have the updated version will not be allowed to travel planes, trains and buses. Apparently by October of 2020, next year, 11 months from now, the laws will require more astringent identification to even travel inside the US. It is becoming more difficult to be a free person in America or to stay anonymous from an out of control government that is moving towards a socialist, totalitarian state. They are doing an end around the Constitution.
The lady at the drivers license place asked me if I wanted to take a trip on a plane in the future, and I said no, I can't afford it anyway.
But what bothers me are the new government regulations that place a financial burden and inconvenience on people to create the paperwork to make a trip, or else you are considered an outlaw. There is a principle involved here of freedom of movement and constitutional rights. Our freedom of movement is being controlled by new laws, all under the guise of cracking down on terrorism - but we are not terrorists, so why are our freedoms being taken away? Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Thomas Jefferson also said: "He who gives his freedom for safety gets none of them."

To receive this special red star status a person has to have a special type of birth certificate copy and also the correct type of social security card. Your current drivers license is not sufficient for identification!

For some odd reason our politicians have bamboozled the public and brought about laws that are OPPOSITE of the Constitution and the wishes of the founding fathers. That is very serious and there is simply no excuse for that. I never thought I would see the day when our government would be asking: "Let me see your papers please", just to go on a vacation or visit relatives.

“Papers, Please”: Government Creates Internal Passports – Effective No Later Than October 2020
By
Tim Brown -

So you were worried about a national ID card, but forgot that basically you have that in a Social Security card, albeit a little outdated? Well, not to fear, Big Brother is here and beginning next year, the feds are going to be requiring you to have your papers ready to board a plane or enter a Federal government facility.

The American Institute for Economic Research has the story. Peter C. Earle writes:

The deadline of yet another, and perhaps the most insidious, element of the post-9/11 initiatives (a partial list of which includes the establishment of the Transportation Security Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, and a never-ending international war against a nebulously-defined, noncorporeal enemy, “terror”) is less than one year from coming to fruition. Beginning no later than October 1, 2020, citizens of all US states and territories will be required to have a Real ID compliant card or US passport to board a commercial plane or enter a Federal government facility. Pundits citing the inevitability of what amounts to a national ID card have, regrettably, been vindicated.

To be sure, some states have resisted, but dependence upon Federal aid and other programs administered from Washington D.C. makes their ultimate surrender and compliance inevitable.
