basically, thats all it is, no biggie, except now you dont need all the other documents, its inside if your drivers license! what da problem is?

[targa]

you also have to consider you source, even the liberal media isnt running this story, id be dubious of its authenticity

could alastor be dan rather in disguise?

yeah, i heard it on NPR a shit-long time ago....and heres a good take on "liberal media" -

Liberal media: Whiny, bitching, cry-baby conservatives love to prattle on and on about the "liberal media." To be fair, except for FOX News (Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, John Gibson, Neil Cavuto, Steve Doocy, E.D. Hill, Brian Kilmeade, Brit Hume), Clear Channel, Laura Ingraham, Dr. Laura, Rush Limbaugh, Hugh Hewitt, Ann Coulter, Newsmax, G. Gordon Liddy, Michael Reagan, Michael Savage, The New York Post, Sinclair Broadcast Group (WLOS13, Fox 45, WTTO21, WB49, KGAN, WICD, WICS, WCHS, WVAH, WTAT, WSTR, WSYX, WTTE, WKEF, WRGT, KDSM, WSMH, WXLV, WURN, KVWB, KFBT, WDKY, WMSN, WVTV, WEAR, WZTV, KOTH, WYZZ, WPGH, WGME, WLFL, WRLH, WUHF, KABB, WGGB, WSYT, WTTA), David Horowitz, Rupert Murdoch, PAX, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, they're right.

You always manage to throw in little facts like this.

"Ooh, what a large amount of money. You must be awesome."

i actually heard it was attached to a military spending bill....

"who wants to send more money over to help our troops in iraq?"

"everyone...good....[mumbles] we will also be adding a national ID"

"what? thats unheard of!"

"you dont want to help the troops in iraq?"

Careful targa, you'll get in trouble for questioning Bush' tactics on getting his bills through an undemocratic process

I wonder if it will store personal data, like Likes/Dislikes so marketing companies can call on the database.

Fingerprints?

A card to prove your an american citizen worthy of flying, what a crock of crap. Social control at it's lowest.

Hopefully it'll never get up.

Indeed - and not just data for marketing purposes. For example, at least one country currently uses their national ID card system to permanently record the voting preferences of its citizens

A biometric system for cards or passports is no secure guarantee of personal identification anyway, nor is it any guarantee of the intent of the person holding said biometric ID. And it is extremely unlikely that this technology will ultimately be forge-proof. But in any case, the weakest link of biometrics is the accumulated conventional ID (easy to forge or fraudulently obtain) which is used to aquire bio-ID status

As to 'terrorist prevention' .. how could bio-ID have thwarted those British-born right-wing religious maniacs who blew up their fellow Londoners? Would it have stopped the Oklahoma bomber? Or prevent the right-wing religious extremists in the USA who have regularly terrorised & blown up legal abortion clinics?
