Well ppl are so against it because this would hand over control to national security, v.s your state handling it. They would decided whats on that lil magnetic strip, theres been talk of putting tracking devices on them that will sort of leave a trail of your wherabouts. Requiring retnal scans fingerprints.. job.. etc. being that homeland security can take over once this is implemented by may 08'.. it cant easly intrued on your rights to privacy. Our government systems are so easily hackable... it would persay let a terriorist... or anyone ones else who wanted u dead bad enough to have a homing beacon on yor @ss so to say for life. "big Brother is watching" isnt a slogan for the 80's anymore.. its ttruer than ever these days. They are also talking about doing the same to passports that come into the u.s... so we know what foreigners are up to on our soil.
It boils down to rights of privacy..
in a radical sense..
if my i.d told the world that I was 5'6.. brown hair hazel eyes..
and that i was healthy, 150lbs.
my blood type was ) positive..
can you imagine what that info can do in the right hands?
it would allow ppl in the blk market to pick thier subjects for organs..
possibly plot the stealing of the mother and her unborn child..
to sell the child in the blk market..
view my family associations..
etc.
no informations is private..
ever...
did you know that your hospital records are the least private of them all?
this card is a blessing and crime against man kind..
its just the simple fact that one scan will tell whatever theyd like it to tell the scanner.. whos scanning your card.
but imagine the possibilities...
of this card also contained the medical info of the person as well...
do you know how helpful it would be if i could scan my card at my dr;s office and he load all my meds currently taking... present and past med. conditions..
etc.
that could save a life...
sorta like that medic chip ppl are investing in.
I tjink theyd get more support if they went at it from a health care pov.. instead of security.

Thank you all for responding.
Thank you fanyamambo for the correction; I found a site that said "Jambo" was the proper way to say it, and another person said "Mujambo." Guess I have to test credibility, BEFORE researching anything.
Sistah Poetic, if this is the case, then why are so many people in opposition to it?
Technically, the way I see it (according to what you stated), people disagree with the ID policy, but they agree with underaged children having fake ID's.
