Delaware Curmudgeon informs us that PennDOT, and Pennsylvania Ed Rendell have instituted a biometric drivers license under the guise of the federal Real ID program. Pennsylvanians are evidently in a snit. Class action suit to follow.
While I don’t consider my self a libertarian to the point of being paranoid, I say go get ‘em guys. In my view this isn’t so much a civil liberties issue as the fact that the law did not permit Rendell to allow the collection of biometric data. Of course, Ed Rendell is your typical Democrat. The rules only matter when it suits.

The bad news is that this is not a DEM/GOP thing. They are pushing things like this in virtually every state.
