Abstract
This study used an advertising campaign  focused on the Real ID card to explore the
relationship between privacy concerns  and information sharing through adoption  of
the new  form of identification. Online surveys were conducted to assess the impact
of campaign  ads promoting  the Real ID, and to determine whether privacy concerns
were  a barrier to its adoption. At post-test, an ordinal regression analysis of data
from  registered voters in Montana (n=302)   showed  a positive association between
the time spent viewing the ads on social media and intent to obtain the Real ID, but
no relationship between privacy concerns  and Real ID intentions. To date, the states
and  territories have issued approximately 110  million Real ID-compliant  driver's
licenses and identification cards, representing 40 percent of all driver's licenses and
identification card holders. Montana, one of the states originally most resistant to
the 2005  security act, lags only slightly behind with 20 percent of drivers and ID
card-holders having  Real IDs. This  research shows  that privacy concerns about  a
new  technology or identification system, such as the Real ID, can erode over time.
Whether  these changes  are due to mounting  privacy  apathy triggered by the pub-
lic's perceived lack of control, or a willingness to sacrifice some privacy for national
security in the face of rising terrorist threats needs to be researched further.
