My guess is that the airlines want this ID card and will require passengers to register their drivers licenses with Intelli-check, when purchasing a ticket. The major problem with this program is that citizenship is not a prerequisite for obtaining a drivers' license in some states. Most of the terrorists already have a license.

Bingo. Linda Daschle worked at the FAA and, I believe, lobbied for one of the major airlines. Any airline which preferred another system to Intelli-check would be asking for trouble. Wonder if she has stock options in IDN.
