Returns to the same question asked here long ago. Will a National ID system serve you or serve the government? Because the public has not demanded a National ID system that serves the individual and since our right wing extremists in power fear everyone (and believe the president needs more power), then this passport RFID is to serve government.

You may not think it necessary. Does not matter. Government has now decided all Americans must be categorized and accounted for. Will this do anything to help you protect your identity? Of course not. Government has done so little for Identity protection. But government so fears even its citizens as to need routine wiretapping without judicial review.

How to make it easier to track you? More RF power with more and bigger antennas. Then government will know where you go, when you were there, and who you were with. Whistleblowers and muckrakers - people who are so praised for bringing down the most corrupt and powerful - especially have so much to fear.
