yep....
I think doing something similar to what the government does with the Common Access Card would be good for a Social Security card.
CAC cards have a chip that cannot be duplicated very easily. Might knock down the fraud somewhat...
What you apparantly don't realize is that the future terrorists can be sleepers, can easily steal identities, can perform terrorist activities that aren't covered by an ID check, can waltz by pathetic TSA screeners with a fake ID, etc. National security is not going to be improved by making everyone carry such a card.
