But if they're "watching" you, then they know you aren't somebody else by mistake.

I think Penn Jillette and his daughter Moxie Crimefighter Jillette probably won't get on any lists accidentally...

You're right, them both being on the list will be quite intentional.

True, you do not need a national ID card......

the technology already exists to 'chip' everbody with ID info....


care to place bets when it will 'required, in the interests of National Security and the Fight against Organsised Crime and Terrorism' when it will be mandatory for all new-borns? ..... then immigrants.... tourists.... over 21's....?

They'll start with babies. Convince parents that they need it for protection from everything... kidnapping to wrong prescriptions to mistaken identity.

Well you got your dog chipped, do you care more for your dog than your kids?

Really? If everyone had a chip in them, think of the time it would save! You wouldn't have to sit up all night with your gun when this happens. Have to prove that Clinton was in a hotel room with Jennifer Flowers? Just look at the record. Want to know where Osama Bin Laden is? Beep-beep-beep: there he is, in Boca Raton, or Riyadh. Want to check out who realllly goes to church every Sunday. Pop! There it is. Where's Jimmy Swaggart? In a hotel room, whacking it while looking at a hooker. I wouldn't want a chip in me, but I'm surprised that you don't support this repubican/conservative control mechanism.

The point was that nobody should need be 'chipped' - a same problem that exists with a SS number. Meanwhile a basic function of government should provide everyone with an opportunity to have identity proof AND identity protection if they so want.

To 'require' everyone to prove who they are has actually been proposed by the George Jr administration. "Where are your papers?" is the fatherland security mentality. An identity system designed to serve government - not serve the citizen. This is a major principle. An ID system must serve the citizen - not government. We have already seen how government and wacky HP women so fear honest Americans. An ID system must be protected from spying presidents and corporate chairman who have lived in the ethersphere too long.

That previous discussion was very explicit as to what is required of an identity proof and identity protection system. One is that the program must be free of government 'wiretapping without judicial reviews'. Another is the program is for the benefit of the citizen - not for the benefit of government law enforcement and not for the benefit of 'immune from prosecution' presidents.

Notice that I also did not call it a National ID for an important reason. It is not for the nation. Its purpose is to serve the citizen. Many important details were in that previous discussion:
A National ID Card

They'll sell the idea like trans-pass, just walk right through that turnstile/scanner or go wait in that line over there for three hours.
You have a clear choice to participate in the program or not. The nots will be instant suspects of course, but you have a choice.
