As I have posted thru example earlier and ID is very much a part of being secure. Refressher of that example: Duke student accused of rape where his ID thru ATM card and camera showed him not to be where his accuser said he was...and thus he could not have done what he was accused of.
AGAIN, the ID itself and how it is used are two very different things.
I do not oppose prosecuting abuses, in fact I offer that proper ID facilitates prosecution of such things.
Why don't you refuse the ID you have at work? You do have that right correct?
I don't have that right. I am in the military.
Identification purposes alone are a fine use for an ID card. However, when the government begins to use this ID as a way to track you, or prevent you from buying/ selling, I have a problem with that.
