This is an old article, but I only found it today. And am horrified.

I renewed my Texas Drivers License today and got a shock. Previously I had my fingerprints taken electronically. BUT today they had a new camera to take my picture for the license. The photo was taken from much farther away. There were much brighter flash systems attached.

I asked the attendant "did this take my retina scan?" She said yes. (biometric identification)

They have done it. Talk about "mark of the beast" and they have silenced any discussion of this. NONE.

God help the United States of America.

I renewed my NYS license today and was given the option of keeping my decade-old license photo.

We need a national ID in order to have valid elections and stop vote fraud.

END TIMES PING LIST PING.

To another END TIMES incremental march toward the mark of the beast.

Of course, there can’t be ANY Marxist/globalist/Federalist/Othuga conspiracy involved.

Otherwise, we’d would have to consider it a joke, a farce, an untruth. True conspiracies are intolerable bits of truth to thin-skinned conservatives who are so allergic to truth in such matters. So, denial has to be the order of the day.

Move along. Nothing here. Be sure to pass close enough to the ID chip detector/scanner in order to exit the area. Those without proper ID will be unable to leave the area until they have been finger printed and their retinas scanned.

I don’t see the problem with a national ID. I already have two... One is a passport, the other is a driver’s license. you need one or the other to fly.

Seems it would make it real easy for a employer to verify...

Retina “scans” have a range of a few inches at best.The DMV clerk didn’t know what they were talking about.

Unless the DOT has develope new technology this does not sound at all like a retina scan

I have one for Hong Kong. It's mandatory for China and it's SARs. I breeze through immigration by going through a kiosk.

Beijing has a better understanding of how many people make up their population. Where as we just guess with the census.

Pros and cons to the ID card here in the US.

It wont be used to prosecute illegal immigrants here in the US, but to punish US Citizens.

You think standing in line at the DMV is aggravating, wait till you have to go to the DHS for your Real ID.

Just wait until they can get the functionality of a smart phone on a chip small enough to wear under your skin...

I showed some people at work an article about the company that was collecting smart phone data... she didn’t say anything at first and I thought she didn’t get it. After a few minutes out of the blue she said. “That’s really creepy”

Thats exactly it. It is creepy.

To all the MotB'ers out there - how does imposing an national ID in the United States cause every person in the world to have a MotB?

Not only that, but the pen they had you sign the application with actually had a device that captured some of your skin cells (painlessly, so you wouldn't notice) in order to get a sample of your DNA. So between your retinal scan and your DNA, they'll be able to prepare your RFID chip (to track you by satellite) for implantation the next time you go through a TSA screening line.

BWAhahahaha! Did you know the word "gullible" is not actually in the dictionary?

Actually it is for facial-recognition software, not retinal scan. They used to make me leave my eyeglasses on because that was a restriction on my license - "corrective lenses" - but in the past ten years they make me take eyeglasses OFF to get a clean image for facial-recognition.

I suspect the DMV employee was yankin' your chain...

In June, I renewed my DE license. I ignored the requirements for the National ID. Wife did too.

I’m waiting for the first instance where a person is refused permission to board a plane, train or bus. Somebody is going to get hurt.

Some states have refused to implement the plan but I can’t remember which ones.

So why isn’t anyone demolishing ObamaCare no matter what it takes?

Mark of the beast, coming soon to your neighborhood.

Seems like the survival/preppers crowd might be interested in this as well.
