Oh, I'm so excited about this.

A made-in-Canada Homeland Security type thing. I wonder if I'll be on the list for what I've posted on ATS.

I've been so critical of the Harper government, it would not be a shock.

I hope I'm on that list too. They can all bite me including the overpriced, overbooked and just plain useless airline industry. Next will be our national Id card that is being rammed down our neighbors throats.

it's already in the works and likely a good topic for another Alternative News story, even though it is somewhat related to the 'No Fly List' since I doubt anyone who is on it and tries to get one of the new cards will be allowed to fly.

New Card Will Include State-Of-The-Art Security Features

QUEEN'S PARK, March 9 /CNW/ - The Ontario government today took a
significant step toward making its driver's licence cards more secure.
"We're on the side of Ontarians concerned about safety," said
Transportation Minister Donna Cansfield. "To meet today's security needs we
are introducing a new card with technologies and security features to protect
holders from identify theft and make it more difficult to tamper with or
counterfeit."
Using the latest technology, and with security changes guided by Western
Hemisphere Travel Initiative, the Ontario driver's licence will be at the
forefront of card security. The card will be produced by Giesecke and Devrient
Systems Canada (G&D), a subsidiary of The G & D Group, a global leader with
more than 40 years' experience in advanced technology for identification,
including secure document design for driver's licences, passports, payment
transactions and currency printing for governments and financial institutions
around the world. Selected though a fair, open and competitive process, the
Markham, Ontario based company will draw on its worldwide experience and
expertise to create the next generation of Ontario's driver's licences

Oh good, just what Canada needed. The good news is if it's anything like the American no fly list, you should have several high level politicians who suddenly wake up and realise they are on the list also and can not travel either. Should be fun to watch the anarchy unvail itself here as well.
