Ok, so the government tells us the cost, to each of us, for the card is going to be £80.
What they don't tell us is the cost of the systems to be put into place to issue and administer the system. Another doozy of a contract for the Governments favourite IT contractor (no names mentioned..do some Googling on past contracts).
If the Cards are to include RFID technology then it's a simple job to put into place the equipment necessary to read them from a distance. A lot of people already carry contactless ID cards to gain entry into their place of work each day. The same technology could be used to read the ID cards without you even knowing it. Simple and invisible tracking technology, along with all the road cameras and the little GPS units they want in all our cars.
Why don't they just get it over with and tattoo a freakin barcode on us and be done with it

Exactly. I dunno about the States but aren't we going to keep all our biometric data on one central database?? smart move.....!!! I reckon the cards are going to cost us £150 at least!
And the GPS in the cars, I nearly choked when I heard that on the news. They wanna charge us per mile based on this technology. Crazy new world man!

Im not saying im overly happy about it, but if it helps keep illegal immigration under control and prevents terrorist attacks. All the better.

Hey DG, you should have been around when Social Security was implemented, people were saying the same stuff back then too…
It kills me to see otherwise smart people let their imaginations run wild and dictate their views. Look at what the poster who actually lives in a country with a National ID type system has to say about it, don’t buy into the Big Brother hype.
[edit on 14-8-2006 by WestPoint23]
The Social Security Number (SSN) was created in 1936 for the purpose of administering the Social Security laws. SSNs were intended solely to track workers' contributions to the social security fund. Legislators and the public were immediately distrustful of such a tracking system, which canbe used to index a vast amount of personal information and track the behavior of citizens. Public concern over the potential abuse of the SSN was so high that the first regulation issued by the new Social Security Board declared that the SSN was for the exclusive use of the Social Security system.
Over time, however, legislation allowed the SSN to be used for purposes unrelated to the administration of the Social Security system. For example, in 1961 Congress authorized the Internal Revenue Service to use SSNs as taxpayer identification numbers.

The Social Security number was NEVER supposed to be used for anything but the Social Security system. And it has had an illustrious 70+ year run of doing everything in addition to that...including being submitted as a possible "national tracking number" last year!

And that means what? Its easier to use individualized numbers already there instead of creating an entire new system. At our school they have used our SSN's as our student ID numbers until this year when they have implemented a new system along with new ID numbers for all. Really scary and very Orwellian.

I just wonder when all this Orwellian stuff will be fully implemented. I hope its soon....I dont like to wait.
I want to be monitored at home, at work, i want to ask permission to go to work, i want to be told what to do at all times...Hey, if there's a Police State, can we go to work????? Maybe the government will make us stay home.
Well, that could be a good thing.
And the thought police....
