Miss Behavin’s Sh*t list
1. FISA passed. That joke of a bill passed. At least the ACLU is going to sue over it. Maybe Judge Walker will get to have a voice after all.
2. REAL ID continues to be a very real threat (pun intended. So you may laugh at the lame joke.) As Homeland Security probably knows State Governments aren’t in a tiff about their citizens privacy rights. They simply want to be paid for their inconvenience. Hence they are gathering $80 million in grants to “ease” the way. First testing states will include: Wisconsin, Nevada, Missouri, Indiana and Florida.
2.1 This does not mean that people aren’t still fighting the REAL ID. The latest exploit included an airplane flying a banner flying this past July 4th weekend. People are starting to get creative 
3. The Communist Party USA doesn’t believe that Obama’s plan is “radical.” This is….hilarious.
4. Most “shocking” yet is the plan to give all airline passengers a identification bracelet. Yes it stores everything that the REAL ID would, and yes it was Homeland Security’s idea. Big surprise. Worse, if you “get out of line” this bracelet doubles as a taser and will shock you into cooperating. The Washington Times writes:
Clearly the Electronic ID Bracelet is a euphemism for the EMD Safety Bracelet, or at least it has a nefarious hidden ability (thus the term ID Bracelet is ambiguous at best). EMD stands for Electro-Musclar Disruption. Again, according to the promotional video, the bracelet can completely immobilize the wearer for several minutes.
Any opinions?
