This might go, but if we have terrorists on the loose, does anyone think they will carry such ID. No, this will be to help keep track of anti-government sentiment, I suspect. Why not just inject all of us with an RFID chip in our hand or a small IC in our forehead, and we can just be scanned everywhere we go.

I have long thought the magnetic strip on the back of driver’s licenses would be a great place to put the sort of data you have to provide over and over and over and have to do by hand most every time. It would be just as accurate as that you do by hand, or the poor clerk has to do by hand while the line waits behind you.

I know such things are replete with opportunities for misuse and abuse, but almost anything is these days and it would save more time and effort than it would pose a risk for most people.

Enhanced driver's licenses have built-in radio chips providing an identifying number or information that can be accessed by a remote reading unit while the license is inside a wallet or purse.

I'm gonna make some nice spending money selling cute metal cases for these driver's licenses.

I suspect embedding anything will be far too obvious, since scripture is quite specific about the use of "the mark of the beast" to curtail buying and selling on the part of those who are part of the resistance.

How much easier it will be to simply require computer usage that does facial (forehead) or finger (hand) scan to login. Those softwares already exist - it's just a matter of being willing to use them....when they are no longer voluntary.....

Look at the source, then look at the source for the source. The article alluded to chips being used in every license and then only talked about enhanced licenses.

The EDL is simply a substitute for a passport that can be used at land and sea ports only. You don't have to get one. It is meant as an optional means of convenience for those that frequently cross the border. Other options include the new passport card or a Nexus speed lane card.

I don't know whether you can really scan these from a distance or not. When you present a chipped passport or enhanced license the customs officer has to place it in a reading device.

It occurred to me that when “they” were ready to start chipping us all they’d need to sell the idea.

I imagine an advertising campaign, star athletes, golf, tennis, baseball, etc. saying “It’s all in the wrist”.

You know, seeing a 7-10 split being knocked down, the smug bowler eyes the camera and says “It’s all in the wrist™!” Then the voiceover says “If Joe Bowldownski is injured, the doctors can treat him faster because his medical records are always with him”. Cut to Joe with a couple hot babes buying drinks with a wave of the hand. A sly wink, and “It’s all in the wrist™!”...

We can’t give the Federal government expansive powers like we did after 9/11 and then complain when Democrats misuse them. We can’t give the government powers that we only want to see certain politicians exercise, but not others. We must assume that any powers we give to the government will fall into the hands of politicians in the future that we will not like.

The Washington state legislature is evaluating a bill that could result in registered sex offenders being forcibly chipped without due process of law. Whatever you think of the scum, consider that this precedent opens the door for a requirement that everyone be chipped.

And it will all come to pass under the banner of "public safety," the same way most rights are lost. (Just give up a right or so and we'll keep you safe.)
