BoingBoing had a little update on this:

That points to this:

Page 1 of 969...very cool.


Along these lines...has anyone here ever subbed to the Computer Privacy
Digest? I am able to still find references to it, but when I try to sub, the
email bounces. That was a great mailing list for concerns like this - they
effectively got the word out about things like Know Your Customer and got
that spiked - well, until 9/11, anyway, in which case, the reptilian brain
took over and it got slipped into the Patriot Act without debate, public or
otherwise (or even being read, apparently). 

As it so happens, a book I had on hold at the library just became available,
and I picked it up last night. It's called Who's Watching You? I'm sure
plans like Real ID are discussed in there.
