"This’ll be no more an intrusion on freedom than a driver’s license is. You’ve got to show it everytime you’re pulled over, and to cash checks or use credit cards."

Your regular driver's license isn't linked by computer to a central database in DC. THAT is the danger. The card itself is a non-problem. The author may over-dramatize somewhat, but she's right.

Its currently linked to a more local or statewide database. What do you think the cop is calling up when he types the DL# into that little computer?

I see no difference. I’m not upset if Texas does it ... so why be upset if its integrated federally?

LOL, almost true!

Each state has a DB and any LEO can access those DB's through a centralize computer system.

Really no difference!
