Make Me Mad

[prog]

Explain to me how the National ID card is so depressingly worse than the established use of SSIDs/drivers licenses/state IDs throughout current American society.

Seriously, I'm asking.

RFID?

I think it's got RFID in it, so They[*] can actually keep track of pretty much anyplace you go.

Is this known? My understanding (after a little Googling) is that the proposal would give the feds the ability to dictate to states what their minimum ID standards should be, but no such standards have been publically released yet.

However, Virginia's apparently been talking about RFID-ing their IDs for a while. Interesting. I think it's likely this will become a topic of fierce national debate soon...
