Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
When Congress approved the Real ID Act of 2005, it set an ambitious target for establishing a nation standard for driver’s licenses. But many states are pushing back, and critics are questioning whether there’s enough money to pay for the program. Kojo looks at the ongoing debate over security, privacy and the next generation of driver’s licenses.
