Immigration bill dead, but national IDs still on the way
The immigration bill died yesterday in the Senate, at least partially because of amendments which had been attached which would have gutted the "Real ID" act, the law which is bringing a national ID card our way. Why is this an issue? Pretty soon, you'll have to have that national ID in order to get a job, open a bank account, travel, or pretty much anything else. The best part -- the data will all be kept in a national database.
Still don't see a problem? The Department of Homeland Security wants to include RFID chips in the new ID, which means that, with very little effort, the government will be able to track your movements from day to day. I can't wait.
