This question was asked in a comment and I am going to do my best to answer it.
"Can you explain the connection between the ID and the license? What makes something "REAL"?"
The DHS says, "In the future, individuals may use a State-issued driver’s license or identification card to board a commercial aircraft, gain access to a federal facility, or enter a nuclear power plant only if it is REAL ID-compliant."
So what makes it REAL ID compliant. Let's see if we can find out.
Right now your boring old driver's license contains the following;
-Full Name
-Address
-Date of Birth
-ID Number
-Picture
-Signiture
Now what do they need in addition to make it "REAL"?
The biggest thing is an Electronic Chip that will be inside the card.
What does this chip contain?
-Full Name
-Address
-Birth Certificate
-Social Security Number
-Facial Recognition
-Possibly a Biometric Finger Scan
-Possibly an Iris Scan
-Signature
-And more, I have heard that it is also a GPS tracking device.
-The government has no limit as to what can be stored on this chip.
An interesting fact: Anyone with the right technology (which is very easy technology to get) can scan through your wallet or purse and retrieve the information from your REAL ID.
Coming soon! What are biometrics and facial recognition scans?

Haha! How'd you know what my next question would be!?!
Thanks for providing all this info and insight and for serving as God's instrument for re-kindling my incentive to study current events!
I found some helpful info by googling "REAL ID Electronic chip"... a bit on the disturbing and riling-up side...

Have you read the act? I haven't, but hope to soon.
Thanks for graciously tolerating my inquisitiveness today! I don’t want to be a bother with my questions, but I really want to understand things! Feel free to tell me ‘hush’ whenever you get sick of the questions! There aren’t many with whom I can discuss this so I may be overly eager!
God bless!

This doesn't exactly concern REAL ID but it is political in nature, while also addressing the depraved view of our nation/president and the pathetically torpid behavior of the Church. In an article by Douglas Phillips concerning the drafting of women he said, "The Church is so intent on bringing affirmation to their Christ-professing President that they are unwilling to face the fact that some of America's greatest moral failures are taking place under his watch. In many cases, these failures are being furthered by his policies." (hmm... comments about Huck are floating through my head...)
Phillips also gave the 'names' of the bills concerning women's draft: "S.B. 89[xx] and H.R. 163[xxi] are parallel bills currently... work(ing) themselves through Congress as the Universal National Service Act of 2004. If passed, they will require all eighteen- to twenty-six-year-olds, male and female, to perform a period of military duty. Those daughters who refuse to comply will face criminal prosecution."
Deuteronomy 20:4; Romans 8:28,31
