I don't see any issue presented here that is exclusive to Real ID. The arguments presented here seem to logically argue against any government identification. Real ID isn't required for domestic travel, it's required for federally-regulated air travel. According to DHS, it doesn't create new databases, it's a credentialing standard.

I'm not familiar with Real ID, but this article doesn't present substantive arguments against it. It comes off a bit histrionic:

> And if you lose a Real ID—or it malfunctions—get ready for bureaucratic nightmares that would make Kafka blush. Newspapers will carry stories about people with Real ID problems who can’t access government offices to resolve them, because they don’t have Real ID.
