I'll stick with the old fashion passport and it's current uses, thank you.

Don't worry about the inconvinience. Soon the National ID will be a part of one's credit card which will be a part of the location chip implanted at birth.
Just wave your arm over the scanner. Easy to transact. Easy to locate. Easy to eaveasdrop. Easy to imprison.
"The new subcutaneous monetary monitor means you can NEVER forget your card..." Sign up today.

Our government is merely a tool of industry which seeks nothing less than to enslave.

Wow, we have dissenters. How many of you are soldiers? Speech alone might not be enough to protect your freedoms. I see the pro & con of this. Bottom line it's not needed and I wish to withhold my federal taxes from said shenanigans. This country is so different from what I was taught in school, lies and propaganda. Where I lived in this fine country I've been jailed for not having proper ID to prove who I was while walking home.
We either fight or roll over like punks. Most will roll over and spread wide. Much easier.

How about we all move. Then the economy will collapse and the politicians can figure out a new way to make money. Do you think its a coincidence how much we've been funding our military lately?

Meanwhile a ambulance chasing personal litigation attorney spreads disease all over the world and is not even detained by customs as directed when showing his passport coming back in from Canada.
Can you say Osama? G DumDuhYuh, ChiChingey, and HitlerBurton can't.
How does the pres know so much of Osamas intentions accurately???
Well, if you talk to your compadre in crime regularly it shouldn't be all that magical. But if we keep 'em wondering how much it will cost to take their SUV to overpriced DizzyCrap, NasCrap, multi million dollar making ball bouncers, and all the other "family" activities we pursue because most can't stand to actually stay home and interact with their own families for weekends they won't notice we are quickly pulling the carpet of freedom out from under them.
