Re: FBI begins installation of $1 bil face recognition system

Yes, it has already been a real headache for some here as they have no birth certificates. Then there are those, like myself, who were born in another state and have to request an original birth certificate from the other state which takes some time. Luckily, I have an original copy with the watermark/seal (that is required...no watermark...no acceptance of the certificate by DMV) in my safe deposit box for years now so I don't have to hassle with that. The thing is almost unreadable though. It was done on an old copying machine that made the background black and you can barely read it.

Some time ago, I elected to use my passport for ID when flying, and that's one of the key reasons I always keep it current. As long as I can avoid going through the lines at the license branch to get REAL ID, it's worth it. Bottom line: if you want to fly, you'll have to provide pretty much the same data for REAL ID as you do for a passport.

I haven't flown for a few years now (used to all the time for business) so I guess I'll keep my passport current too. In some cases (e.g. to open a PO box) you need two gummint issued photo ID's.

Edit: My bad. Just two ID's.
