Hurrah! They finally fixed the headline…
It bothered me so much, I kept coming back to see if it had been corrected.

Wow, the comments on this post are diet version, apparently. Seriously, how is a facial map generated from a DL photo and then stored on a Gov server somewhere not considered a violation of privacy protections under the 4th Amendment? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
The general idea is that accessing a government record (the DMV picture) isn’t a violation of privacy, just using the record in a mildly expanded way. That is of course garbage, but it is the argument.
What is Real ID for a thousand?
Are Military Identification Cards part of that database? They even issue cards to dependents now.
