House approves electronic ID cards

Another portion of the bill says that states would be required to link their DMV databases if they wished to receive federal funds. Among the information that must be shared: All data fields printed on drivers' licenses and identification cards, and complete drivers' histories, including motor vehicle violations, suspensions and points on licenses.
The Bush administration threw its weight behind the Real ID Act, which has been derided by some conservative and civil liberties groups as tantamount to a national ID card.

Big brother wants to watch. If all states share this information in a databases it is a national ID card.

Next step--electronic chips implanted on our bodies. More than a little scary.

Just wait until they get all the databases linked from the advertisers. That is when the thought crime trials begin.
