To me, the national ID is sinister in much the same way a national firearms registry would also be. It encourages too much government snoopervision of our daily lives.
As I said to the state legislators two years ago, either clean this up at the state level, or the feds will clean it up nationally. So, if
you don't want a national ID, you'd better put pressure on your state legislators to clean up their own DMV laws.
