The ACLU opposes this sort of ID. No surprise. The ACLU favors terrorists and seeks to bring about the destruction of the United States.

Looks like Gus has lots of money to fund out.
Also looks like this Cinali guy does too.
Well, well well. No I haven’t. Look at all the connections to Bain’s. Mitts darlin’.
More money than they know what to do with it.
Well...one name will lead to others. We shall see if any important names end up crossing over into other important areas/companies.
We are just scratching the surface....it seems.
No, they know what to do with.....undermine America.
Just scratching the surface, I agree. I start out on Able Danger and end up with Read ID.
And it appears they are becoming very successful at it.
lolol!
After graduation, Romney went to work for the Boston Consulting Group, where he had interned during the summer of 1974. From 1978 to 1984, Romney was a vice president of Bain & Company, Inc., another management consulting firm based in Boston. In 1984, Romney left Bain & Company to co-found a spin-off private equity investment firm, Bain Capital. During the 14 years he headed the company, Bain Capital's average annual internal rate of return on realized investments was 113 percent, making money primarily through leveraged buyouts. He invested in or bought many well-known companies such as Staples, Brookstone, Domino's, Sealy Corporation and Sports Authority.In 1990, Romney was asked to return to Bain & Company, which was facing financial collapse. As CEO, Romney managed an effort to restructure the firm's employee stock-ownership plan, real-estate deals and bank loans, while increasing fiscal transparency. Within a year, he had led Bain & Company through a highly successful turnaround and returned the firm to profitability without layoffs or partner defections.
Romney left Bain Capital in 1998 to head the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games Organizing Committee. He and his wife have a net worth of between 190 and 250 million USD.

I don't know that there is a list so much as a criteria. Which, AFAIK, is a government issued photo ID. I use my CAC card.(DoD "smart card" ID, mine is a contractor version). Which is appropriate because I haven't flown on personal business in decades, except for a one way flight after delivering a car to Boston for my daughter.
The clintons. If Able Danger was ever truly investigated as it should be, this country would be in a revolution because of dirty, corrupt, power hungry and money greedy politicians. Selling us and our country out for profit and power.
I agree. That’s why the coverup...thanks to Bush.
Can you see him as president of this great country?
State government's doing it on their own hook is one thing, but in this case they are being forced by the federales.
However, traveling interstate is a from of interstate commerce, so it probably actually is within the Constitutional mandate of the feds. But, IMHO, they should provide the ID, not force the states to do it. This way you have to get the super ID even if you never intend to fly, take a bus, or a train. You can can't avoid it, unless you also don't want to drive, even intrastate.
We're soooo freakin' screwed. How do we fight the movers and shakers with the money and power when the ordinary Americans are trying to work and keep a roof over their head and food on the table?
