Come May of next year, Washington state will purposely be out of compliance with the federal government's "REAL ID" program for enhanced security driver's licenses which will be required by the Homeland Security Department for travel.

What that means is "anybody's guess," state lawmakers were told Wednesday.

In 2007 the state Legislature passed a law saying Washington wouldn't create a new driver's license unless Uncle Sam picked up the tab and privacy concerns were resolved.

BTC COMMENT:
I can see why Washington State is truly confused over terms of federal compliance. They adopted the Enhanced Drivers Licenses. [What more do ya want, Feds?]

REDUX: Wikileak's vs. EU Sexx Laws, more redacted record dumps

BTC --  Nothing has been as entertaining to watch for absurdity as charges were progressed to arrest Julian Assange, Wikileak's founder, for violating Swedish sex laws when "the condom broke".  

For news analysis,  Mr. Beck.

Wikileaks may equate the PENTAGON PAPERS v. 3.0  Assange's legal team threatens to "power leak" all over the world wide web if he is harmed or killed.  For instance, The Mexican Cables: "Why is this stuff secret?"

Phil Mocek's trial in Bernalillo County Metro Court tomorrow might be the first of its kind in the country. He was arrested after refusing to present identification to the Transportation Security Administration. Mocek's case may be the first time someone has been arrested or charged with a crime after trying to travel by plane without showing ID.  

He'll will be driving—not flying—from his hometown of Seattle to the Duke City for the trial.
