On Thursday, Feb. 9th, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill, the "Real ID Act" that would require states to issue federally approved electronic ID cards to all adult residents.
All driver's licenses and other ID cards would be required to include a digital photograph, anticounterfeiting features and "machine-readable technology, with defined minimum data elements" that could include a magnetic strip or RFID tag.
