Should there be a National ID Card System in place?

Question

If so WHY
if not WHY

Answer 1

i refuse to go along with it....they would have to show me the clause in the constitution that gives the Federal government that power...This question you're asking is a part of it. They're testing the water so-to-speak to see if people will go along with it. Here's my reasoning: it's one of many invasions of our privacy...this message i send you could be read by Feds...same with anything I buy w/o cash or any website i visit...they're in my house already...i don't need them in my wallet...who knows what they can put on the card if the technology is right they can triangulate your position on earth if the Card has a tracking device in it...and then they can tell you you can't go anywhere without it...that's a dangerous situation and a step towards 1984...there are actual bills floating around that want to put GI cameras in people's households.

Answer 2

NO NO and NO--if "they" can know all about everything, they can come for us whenever. They can take away our rights, including our weapons and ability to protect ourselves and our homes. Every dictator throughout history, when they took over, always started with a secret police and rounding up the public's weapons. It does not matter whether we call them Gestapo, the secret police, or whatever. Hillary and her co-president husband tried all that in 1993 with a National Health Card. Look what happened: the Democrats were THRASHED in the 1994 congressional elections, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2004, as well as losing the White House in 2000 and 2004.

Answer 3

No

Because state IDs are enough. A National ID is dangerous...

"Absent a political miracle in the Senate, within two years every American will need a conforming national ID card to participate in ordinary activities. This REAL ID Act establishes a massive, centrally-coordinated database of highly personal information about American citizens: at a minimum their name, date of birth, place of residence, Social Security number, and physical characteristics. The legislation also grants open-ended authority to the Secretary of Homeland Security to require biometric information on IDs in the future. This means your harmless looking driver’s license could contain a retina scan, fingerprints, DNA information, or radio frequency technology." ~ Ron Paul

Here is a link to his full article on the issue.

As the human DNA sequence is analyzed further, we will find traits among the mentally ill and criminals which are common characteristics in DNA. Then, with DNA records, there will be profiling of "potental criminals" who will be denied access to activities based on not a crime, but speculation. It sounds insane, but so did breaking the human genome.

You might also say, "dna info is too much to fit on a card" but the fact is we could pack the sequence into a few megabits. Selected sections of ones dna defined as suspect, could fit in a matter of KB which NOW can be stored on a magnetic strip of a card.

As you know, solid statet storage is small, and can pack GB of data!

Answer 4

I don't have a problem with a National ID Card. I have a problem with any information being accessible from that card other than the info listed on my driver's license.
