A great array of people speaking. The commenter (commentor?) from the Center for Democracy and Technology made some excellent points about the difference between what Real ID "wants" to be vs. what it is (wording mine).
Real ID is a very specific set of rules. The idea of secure, national driver's license standards is a different thing entirely, and it's important to keep that distinction.

They took my question! Here was Dr. Barth's response, as well as I could capture it ...
“That’s posed as a question; there are many aspects to it, some of which have addressed. The centralized database concern is valid; we’re trying to address this by preventing centralized databases to avoid something like the VA [Veteran's Administration laptop theft]. The current situation is that many states scan information; we’re raising the standard so that all states do that, and so that there are more stringent security protections. All specific proposals for how we can do the job better are welcome – we don’t want to be front-page news. So please, provide us with ways we can protect the information that’s collected at the state level.”
Especially since security and privacy is one of the topics yet to be covered, I wanted to reply to this -- hopefully they'll respond, and even if not my reply will become part of the record. Here's what I sent:
Thank you very much for answering my question earlier. I want to make it clear that the risks of data theft remain even if it's *not* a centralized database -- as has been pointed out repeatedly, security sinks to the level of the weakest link in the chain; with multiple databases, all are vulnerable. The proposed approach of mandating better security for states doesn't address the problem; state and federal governments typically do not meet currently-mandated security requirements. (Most private enterprises are no better, as the regular stream of data breaches shows ... this is an extremely hard problem.)
Security can't be designed in after the fact. Without a detailed plan in place UP FRONT to assure the security of these databases, it is reckless to require information be stored -- in fact, we would be much better served by preventing the states that currently scan this information from doing so.

Good exchange there...
The REAL ID is not a small move, a lateral move, or a minor upgrade.
It is a compelte paradigm shift. The federal government wants to have access to files about all its citizens. They say its not a national id card--I suppose--because they are making the states to be their lackeys. With networking, it does not matter if a database is "centralized" or not. The issue is access.
They liked their 70% of American support statistic. This tells me a couple of things:
1. Americans have lost their minds.
2. Americans are not being given a complete picture.
3. A combination of both.
