I excerpted this story. There's more if you follow the link. I was only barely aware of this proposed system, and the rest of the story is clear that not many details are going to be forthcoming. But the system is going to do things like credit checks, etc. Of course, you're going to have to give your SS# when you buy a ticket, since "Robert Jones" is not enough ID to do any sort of check.

This is gonna scare a bunch of folks...of course it'll also free up some extra seats on the airlines.

A national ID card is inevitable. Conservatives who fight it are going to ultimately lose.
