RE: Papers Please?

in #anarchy7 years ago

Interesting. I live in Canada so i have no stake in this (yet) but I've seen some of the identification cards from the states and they look really easy to fake, and there's so many different ID cards.

A really hard to tamper with Federal ID would add a level of security when entering places that are seen as "targets" so i can see why the government would push for their REAL ID.

Thing is we don't really know how real the threats are. US has been at or above elevated threat level since 2006. Seems made up.

Giving away freedom in baby steps is scary too. It really sucks to be surveilled 24/7.. We already have enough virtual checkpoints in everyday life. I wonder what kind of tracking technology they'll be putting in this new ID? If its just a card to try and create a standard then I dont see how its any different than a passport.

Good point, I am sure it will have some kind of tracker in it.
