As REAL ID rollout approaches, congressional privacy hawks largely silent on concerns
Fox News
Privacy concerns had been top of mind for many lawmakers in the past, but few responded to Fox News Digital this week when asked about REAL ID.
Some of the privacy-hawk lawmakers remaining silent on REAL ID were very vocal when another expansion of the national security surveillance apparatus came about – the Patriot Act of 2001 – but not so when the U.S. is only days away from REAL ID implementation. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Sens. Edward Markey, D-Mass., Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., were all in Congress when the Patriot Act faced ultimately-successful renewal in 2010s and when the 2020 bill amending and reauthorizing the related Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court came up for a vote. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
