Big Brother: Radio chip in Drivers License?

LIFE WITH BIG BROTHER
Radio chip coming soon to your driver's license?
Homeland Security seeks next-generation REAL ID

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php? ... geId=90008


Privacy advocates are issuing warnings about a new radio chip plan that ultimately could provide electronic identification for every adult in the U.S. and allow agents to compile attendance lists at anti-government rallies simply by walking through the assembly.

The proposal, which has earned the support of Janet Napolitano, the newly chosen chief of the Department of Homeland Security, would embed radio chips in driver's licenses, or "enhanced driver's licenses."

.. 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.

Oh Big Brother.

Take a bus to the protest and don't carry any ID? (Makes it harder for the arresting officers to sort out who is who that way, anyway...)

[RamboPreacher]

Great idea.

Well, when people stop carrying their ID's, or when it become illegal to not carry them, then you'll have to consent to an implant of one to drive. And, no, I'm not worried about any marks of the beast, but I'm very concerned about personal liberty.

FYI, anyone who wants to blame Obama for this needs to check up. President Bush was the main proponent of the Real ID Act and its implementing regulations being put into the hands of Homeland Security and others in perpetuity. Obama and Bush will be the ones who make/made this happen.

Some Democrats have called for the repeal of Real ID (Akaka, for one). But, now that they're in total control, DHS is not only implementing it, but they are continuing and expanding a Bush Administration funding for states to transition into it. And, you thought the government wanting to centralize your medical information was an intrusion!

Let's face it: the goal of the federal government, and even the states now since they are the #1 welfare recipient of the federal dollar, is to make everyone of us a true blue Government Issue. There's nothing and no one to stop them.
