Gov. Sanford outlined four main concerns with the PASS ID legislation:
-If there are going to be secondary levels of screening under this law, that ought to be defined now.
-The allegedly “voluntary” pilot program establishing a centralized “hub” of citizens’ identities should be removed from the legislation. History suggests that such “voluntary” programs become mandatory once the federal government consolidates its authority and oversight.
-PASS ID does not prohibit the use of RFID (radio frequency identification) technology in drivers’ licenses, which makes citizens susceptible to tracking by public and private entities, including hackers.
-PASS ID does not provide adequate protection to the identities of victims of criminal domestic violence.
