toupsz writes "Bill Scannell has created a website where anyone and everyone can fax their senators regarding the Real ID Act. Note that the act is up for vote on Tuesday, May 10th! All those against the Act might want to go to Bill's site: UnrealID.com. Thanks, Cory from BoingBoing!"

Line Item Veto?

[Oculus Habent]

Wouldn't it be more productive to attempt to persuade the President to use his much-neglected Line-Item Veto than to attempt to stop a military spending bill for one of its riders?

I actually don't oppose the Read ID on the grounds that it's invading my privacy or anything, but that I don't think it'll help much and it's going to cost a lot.

what we really need...

[Legato895]

what we really need is to have a world wide identification system, that is also tied to a universal screenname/email etc. also, this should be the sole form of credit currency. this chip should be placed in the skin, preferably on the forhead or hand.

we shall call it... the mark of the best!!!

(note, while im kinda making this a light hearted jab, i realized in all honesty that its not a happy matter for the people that will still be on the earth when this is inacted)

what is so bad?

1.) See Roman empire for downfall [google.com].
2.) Hackers are going to know everything about you by walking past you. They can even cut your finger off and use your precious Biometric security enabled device because they'll know your 16-digit password is your social security number plus your last name and birthday, Mr. Smith.
3.) You don't need an ID to take off with a plane from Canada and smash it into whatever the expletive you want.
