All United States citizens may be required to carry a biometric I.D. card!
That's not Orwell's Big Brother speaking. Rather Democrat Chuck Schumer (D- New York), and Republican Lindsay Graham (R- South Carolina) have devised new legislation to mandate that every worker carry a government I.D. card to prove his citizenship. The card must be carried every day and may be checked by employers and any governmental authority upon request.
All U.S. citizens would be required to carry an ID cards according to this plan. It's meant to keep companies from hiring illegal immigrants. No matter where you apply for a job, under the plan, you would have to have a card carrying bio-metric information on a microchip. It's like your fingerprints, or a scan of the veins in your hands.
Even the ACLU is not backing this transparent attempt to force a mandatory national I.D. onto 300 million Americans.
We're talking about fingerprinting every single American worker, and that card, in turn, will probably be used not only to work but also to travel, to vote, perhaps even to own a gun.
Senator Graham, in response to these privacy concerns said, "This program would not expand like that." I wouldn't want to call the Senator a liar, but that is a breathtaking level of naivety for a U.S. senator.
National I.D. cards are nothing new, totalitarian regimes revel in the ability to disallow travel, financial transactions, and food distribution for those who don't have the proper papers. A microchip on the card opens the door for the inclusion of non-medical information such as political or union affiliations, criminal or civil judgments, and with the addition of a GPS chip, all travel activity around town and overseas.

That dude was a Nazi fascist anyway.
Don’t worry, he/she/it will return under a new screen name.
They always do!
Yes, and they always get nailed by a FReeper.
I stand by what I said, identifying the legal status of an applicant does not require an national ID. Its just one step from that to an “Internal Passport” with the justification being “its needed to find illegal’s”, and from that its just another little step to...fill in the blank.
I realize you think identifying the legal status of an applicant does not require a national ID. All I’m asking from you is to describe an accurate alternative method.
Breaks my heart. (I still can't figure out exactly what that guy's problem was.)
Boy-O-boy, that should be interesting. I wish you could record the video of that.
It is “the line”.
He just tried. Got the zot.
That's gonna leave a mark.
Silly troll. No simple troll can bypass the high-tech FR security beams.
But, they always try. *Sigh*

Yes they do, but it gives us something to do on a regular basis. Troll hunting is one of my favorite pastimes on FR.
