What happened in Missouri needs to be brought to the attention of people in any state that has laws against the Real ID Act.
After changing their story several times the Director of MO Dept of Revenue finally acknowledged taking DHS grant money for biometric identification.
This is an audio of the last 5 minutes of the DOR hearing:

Missouri Dept of Revenue Implementing Real ID in Violation of State Law

Unfortunately, most (if not all) the states who opted out of Real ID also took DHS grant money and have been working towards the implementation of the Real ID benchmarks.
I strongly urge all to have a look at this August 2012 DHS Report to Congress "Secure Identification State Progress Real ID Act" pdf

Is your state guilty of sneaking this implementation in without the knowledge or consent of the citizens? If so, you have a fight on your hands to undo the damage already caused.
