Biometrics would make fake IDs far more difficult, if not impossible.

Really? How? Genuine biometric data taken from the owner of the fake ID can be put on the fake ID. Now he/she is "beyond question" because the ID card data matches the the biometrics.

Unless, of course, you are advocating a central databank that tracks every use of an ID card. And you believe no-one would be able to crack into a system that needs to be instantly accessible from anywhere 24/7/365. And you believe no-one working on the database could ever be compromised.

Does the name Kathrine Smith ring any bells???

Of course biometric data could be compromised. (So can freedom to bear arms) But put it in perspective. Folks, it apparently hasn't gotten through alot of heads: WE ARE TALKING LIFE AND DEATH HERE.

This is not impeachement, tax increase, or pension. We are talking life. Breathing. Living.

Don't people understand that another 9/11 is a given. It's a matter of when not if.

The only question is how many more 9/11s. There is a point where America will not exist anymore, if the terrorists are not taken out. Biometrics, increased security, strenghened Homeland security is not a debatable luxury.

Maybe alot of you who call yourselves libetarians would rather die, would rather see your family die, but you cannot be allowed to death sentence the rest of us and our wicked children.
