If I'm not mistaken, it isn't too difficult for someone to be tracked as it is. I mean, for most things you have give your SSN now days anyways; at the college I used to go to it was your student id. Even a fairly poor hacker can get ahold of that and find out most anything they want to know about you. If the government really wants to track everything you do they can do it anyways without raising a big fuss about it. I'm sure somewhere down the road someone will raise some hell about it being an invasion of privacy if it gets too out of hand. I dunno, I've never really done anything I cared if anyone found out about anyways. I'm paranoid enough as it is, always thinking everyone's paying attention too me; this isn't going to make that much of a difference in my life. Maybe just give me that warm fuzzy feeling thinking that someone really is watching...

PS. ID card in my country were mandatory at the age of 18. If you didn't have it or forgot one at home some "nice" police officers took you to the station and "politely" asked you some "nice" questions.

Fear of this is ridiculous. I already have Federal IDs in the form of a Social Security card and a Passport. My New York Driver's License I think already meets the requirements under the new law. A national ID standard is not the mark of the beast nor a sign of a coming police state. :shk:
