National ID cards on the way?
Here we go again. Why is it that these people continually try to fix something that isn't broken by implementing a system that is SO easily broken? We will drift into complacency, believing that our completely flawed system of national IDs will protect us from the "bad people" while completely ignoring the fact that such a system can so easily be cheated. Then, of course, it will be much more difficult to oust the "bad guys" from their total assimilation into the system. But no, since this type of a "band aid" measure will help the unthinking masses feel more secure, it is politically expedient.
Recent congressional vote on standardized, electronically readable driver's licenses raises fears about imminence of national IDs.
