I mean, I get that DHS still wants it, but... Why?
It might have made sense in 2005 with the post-2001 political climate, but it's 20 years later. We've been fine with the current IDs for so long, and the climate is not anywhere near the same now as it was then with relation to security theater.
Well at this point AFAIK it's a legal requirement that they do it. To fully cancel it would require action by congress to remove the program all together, I'm willing to bet (but not willing to find the language) that DHS can extend implementation but not cancel it.
apparently the only way to cancel it is to refuse to use it, en masse, its the low adoption rate by end user that keeps the deadline being kicked down the road
While I wouldn't go that far, I definitely support Americans who wish to utilize their unique free speech and freedom for this cause. Example: https://i.imgur.com/C12Cw06.jpg
