File Under: Proud to be a Mainer

Dear Mr. Chertoff,

You may think that you are helping by threatening the States that don't comply with your Real ID program. You are mistaken. The State of Maine is full of a proud people, as are the people of New Hampshire, and Montana. I agree with the governor of Montana, we will gladly wait in another line to board a plane as long as we don't have to carry a national style ID. This is not a dictatorship, this is not a cold war era Soviet State, so we say to you, no.

So threaten away and invade someone else's privacy.
