Who needs Real ID? I carry Alien ID!
Don't leave your planet without it!
I don't need to worry about the Real ID rider attached to the "must pass" unnecessary Iraq war spending bill. I'm actually surprised this is the MOST obnoxious thing stuffed into that bill. I'll have to review it closer to see what other nonsense was attached. Hmmm, I wonder if the President could use his line item veto on this? (What am I thinking? Logic and the President. I would laugh if I could.)
As an alien I'm used to being asked for ID, but as most sentient beings know there are several fallicies in using photo ID as a security measure. In my experiance my captain's idenity has been tranfered to 1) A woman and 2) An Android. In both cases a photo ID was worthless. And of course when Captain Garth (LORD GARTH!) metamorphed into Captain Kirk, again a photo ID was worthless.
In my own case not only was MY idenity stolen, my actual BRAIN was taken.
Now who would believe that THIS was me?
IDs are useful for broadbrush purposes, but in the hands of a government that is ruled by the politics of greed and operated by faliable (and incompentent) humans, the prospect of abuse and misuse are legion. Right wing humans love to ignore facts like all the 9/11 terrorists had photo IDs.
As Mr. Future will tell you (thanks for the book BTW I'm enjoying it) there is a lot more to security than a photo ID. And he KNOWs what he is talking about. His NSA file is probably thicker than mine!
Anyway for the record, here is my Alien ID. Yes, I weigh more than 81 kilos, but this new "Vulcan South Beach Diet" is really going to help once I start it.

Security is a trade-off; we have to weigh the security we get against the price we pay for it. Better trade-offs are to spend money on intelligence and analysis, investigation, and making ourselves less of a pariah on the world stage. And to spend money on the other, non-terrorist, security issues that affect far more Americans every year.--Bruce Schneier, Security Expert

For any real revolutionary with computer saavy and the right hardware, Real ID will be the key to the Empire.
DynCorp and CACI will be selling the chips on the black market soon.
Oh, Spocko, that ID is War on Everthing Material for sure. Sweeeet
Spocko, Yesterday, while driving to school, I saw a person jogging. I thought the jogger had pointy ears! I thought it may be you! Upon closer examination, it appeared that the pointy ears were only a radio headset.

Spocko, you should petition the Vulcan DMV to include option of organ donor on future DL's.
Rasta: Good point. Especially since T-Neg is a very rare type.
On the other hand, if I had organ donor on my card when my brain was swiped what would Dr. McCoy have put my brain back into?

Vulcans are everywere! Some have their ear's bobbed to fit in on earth on observation missions. Those Vulcans like to wear things that remind them of what they will look like when they get off this planet. Some of them even go to SF conventions or pretend to be Elves just to look normal again.
You are right. I stand corrected.But I must admit after your brain was swiped ,you doing the "Robot" was pretty cool.
Brane? Brane?! What is brane?!?
