Comments on: Reports: DHS Planning to Privatize Real ID System http://www.chinamatrix.com/surveillance/?p=10 conflict and synergy in the global panopticon Sun, 13 Jun 2010 00:39:45 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Michael Hampton http://www.chinamatrix.com/surveillance/?p=10&cpage=1#comment-3 Michael Hampton Thu, 18 Jan 2007 14:52:38 +0000 http://www.chinamatrix.com/surveillance/?p=10#comment-3 I just want to make it clear that I have absolutely no documents whatsoever which state that AAMVA will be the choice to be the REAL ID data clearinghouse or run a REAL ID database. They simply are the most obvious choice, and are actively pursuing it, so I predict that they will be chosen to run it. If DHS mandates a pointer system, rather than a centralized database, this might not actually be quite so bad.
