There's nothing in here about any sort of microchip in or barcode on your body, commonly thought to be the mark of the beast.
I too, found nothing in the code he posted about RealID or identification beyond requiring one's SSN or TIN for identification purposes (along with other information) |
(at bolded) you obviously didn't [completely] read your own link you posted:

You said the ID card will be electronically readable. What does that mean?

The Real ID Act says federally accepted ID cards must be "machine readable," and lets Homeland Security determine the details. That could end up being a magnetic strip, enhanced bar code, or radio frequency identification (RFID) chips.
In the past, Homeland Security has indicated it likes the concept of RFID chips. The State Department is already going to be embedding RFID devices in passports, and Homeland Security wants to issue RFID-outfitted IDs to foreign visitors who enter the country at the Mexican and Canadian borders. The agency plans to start a yearlong test of the technology in July at checkpoints in Arizona, New York and Washington state.
