Only if it could be done in a way that could not be counterfeited. Otherwise, it would just be a waste of time and money.

nothing is ever secure for long, it will only be a matter of time before the terrorists know away of getting around them. just have to look at how much knowledge some of them have. so many highly educated people are in terrorist groups that it would only be a matter of months after a card is first issued that they would have a way of making one and maybe they already have information that will allow them to get these secure id cards easily.

Sure, as long as they gave enough time for travlers to have a substitute while waiting for theirs.
Each ID should be plastic, and have their picture, and a bar code, where they scan the card at the entering and exiting of the county ad airports, to retrieve your information on a screen. Then ask a question or few and match the information. It would be hard to counterfeit, as most information is on the government computers, so if they made a fake, they couldn't change the comparison such as done with fake driver licenses.

why would you support a government tracking device. huh? wouldnt your walls be closing in a bit? seriously the can already monitor our phones. immigrants take most of the jobs that we refuse to do? eh? i mean the more electrical devices that make you feel secure make me cringe. any datasystem can be manipulated. any program can be hacked. would you feel comfortable knowing that a nation wide identy tracking system could be manipulated at any moment and then you could be the guilty one. i think that by taking careful precautions not being so clumsy forgetful will make it much harder to steal your id bro. if your scared that you need to feel an identity you are wrong my freind you need to take control be your own person. we cant have the gov trying to put shackles on our hands before anyone needs or deserves them

Nothing is secure. If man can invent a tamper-proof method, another man can invent a way to tamper with the ID card. The Allies broke the Germans' famous enigma code during WWII. The Japanese broke all of the American codes...except for Navajo code talkers...during WWII.

Lets take it one step further. I think every American should have a chip implanted in their brains that not only allows the government to track it's citizens but also to inject fear into it's citizens periodically.
Bunch of freakin sheep out there. So what if terrorists are out there. They are parasites whose only weapon is terror and most people play right into it. How many people died on 9/11? How many people die from cancer a year? I would rather the government spend hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars on cancer research since we each have more chance of dying from cancer then from terrorists.

The KGB adopted a firm screening measures to protect the USSR, now the NSC is screening every single move of the nationals and foreigners so the states are no better than the Soviets back in the 70's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not on your life. The government is more of a problem to most citizens than nearly anything else.
We need a service which allows citizens to learn everything about the politicians and government hacks, not the other way around.
The government is supposed to support, aid, and serve the population, not itself.

No way to do it, secure cards cost $500 and the equipment to support them (which would have to be purchased by any person wanting to read the data on the cards) would be in the thousands.

No, no, no! The "Real ID" program is one more small step toward "Big Brother". The states have the right to issue ID cards as they wish and that is more than adequate.

No but I would support the United States getting a National Health Care plan like that of the United Kingdom and Canada. Instead of allowing citizens teeth to rot in their mouths.
75% of Americans have periodontial disease of some form.
