National ID Card Passes Legislation, Thoughts...

Just listening to our local talk radio...He had an interview with the guy who runs this site:
Unreal ID.com
Sounds like big gov't is getting bigger. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Also, sounds like our rights and freedom eroding. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Thoughts, Comments, Concerns please.

It is no big deal. Think of standardization of the already popular state drivers licenses.

Will a DNA database for ID be far away?
Maybe they'll start installing a chip in us on birth. We should have seen this coming when they make us get social security #s at birth now.
Who knows where this will lead in the future.

( It is no big deal. )

Yeah, that's probably what the American Indians said when they say Columbus' ships sitting in the harbor.

Databases are good if you're on the other side of the fence, but, we're inside the fence.

Non-IT people vastly overestimate the ability for databases to 'talk' to one another.

If it keeps a better tab on all the illegals it will be worth it. All the data used is already collected on your driver's license by your state, so what's the difference?

I am also in favor of needing a photo id to vote as well. Here in Wisconsin there is SOOO much fraud perpetrated at the universities alone (thousands of votes), our state would have had very different results the past several elections. (same day registration, no id required /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif )

How about a national tractor driver's license?

I am very concerned, but I will not comment for this forum frowns upon political topics.

Present vote from me as well. I only commented on the enema domination issue because of its effect on rural landowners (us).

The information is already out there. So speak of your concerns and leave the politics out. A national ID system has been bantied about since the introduction of the SSN.

ReadID has more to do with getting authorities to speak with each other in a standard way.

As MikePA notes:
 ( Non-IT people vastly overestimate the ability for databases to 'talk' to one another. ) 

Not only are "databases" difficult to talk with, but even those in the same agency may not talk, let alone DIFFERENT agencies and/or organizations.
