Dear Declan,

Best idea yet.

In related news, here is something on the RealIDRebellion:

  "Sunni Maravillosa has created a blog to coordinate resistance
   to the Real ID Act. Stop by, read the comments and links, add
   your site to the list of "REAL ID Rebels."

http://realidrebellion.blogspot.com/

There's nothing about my property in a car that ought to
require me to pay some extortionist a license.  And the
RealID can't steal my freedom if I burn it, or never apply
for it.

Several jurisdictions in North America are considering
offering driver "license" type documents for those who
wish to have identity papers without being "RealID'd".

Regards,

Jim
