Topic: E Passport

Sheila Dean of the 511 Campaign joins the program to discuss the fight against the Real ID Act and biometric identification. The campaign's name refers to May 11, the date the bill was passed in 2005, framing it as a disaster comparable to 9/11. The discussion posits that the government uses the "problem" of illegal immigration to justify the "solution" of a mandatory biometric ID card linked to a global supercomputer.

Sheila Dean displays her biometric passport while discussing the intuitive need to protect personal data from radio frequency identification (RFID) chips. A report from the London Telegraph is cited, claiming that "fake e-passports" can be cloned in minutes, undermining the government's claims of enhanced security. The host argues that these technological advancements are less about public safety and more about the security of those who own the data.
