What is the big deal about security ID’s? The ACLU is having their required fit but they, as usual, ignore the real world. In one week, I was required to show my picture ID at a Best Buy, Staples, two supermarkets, a pharmacy, Wall-Mart, and the nice policeman who let me off with a lecture. If I need that required ID in order to simply stay alive, I’m not going to complain. As an added blessing, the Federally approved ID might, just might, put a crimp into (gasp) voter fraud. Hey guys, this is 2008, not 1908.
“What is the big deal about security ID’s?”
I’m not sure because those of us who work have had a national ID since we first started working...it’s called a Social Security card. And those of us who have served and/or serve in the military had or have a national ID card.

is anti-American; hence anything that makes America more secure; the losers over at the ACLU are against. LOL
You choose to live your life on plastic. Don’t force this lifestyle on those who prefer cash.
No grocery store around here ever asks me for any identification whatsoever, and I don’t understand how doing so would benefit their business. The bank only rarely asks for any identification, even when I withdraw cash or cash checks.
Powerful argument. Above average for this thread anyway.
If that were me (I go to all the same places, except Walmart; and I don't drive), I would have told them that I didn't have my ID with me. Of course, if there's a problem, I can just as easily pay with my debit card (no ID required), rather than a credit card. Why are you showing your ID to everyone? We are losing our freedoms, people. Other than flying on a plane, who needs to see your ID?
