Speculating that it may be worth something. What do you think?
US border pass can be used as ID in federal buildings
Washington, Jan. 19 (AP): One card would serve as a border pass, a driver's license and a security ID for entering federal buildings.
It would include not just your name and picture, but your fingerprints and DNA.
Just do not call it a national ID card.
The Homeland Security Department is planning border crossing cards for Americans re-entering the country from Canada and Mexico.
Officials hope to start issuing the PASS (for People Access Security Service) cards by the end of 2006.
A PASS card may also one day carry driver's license and other identification information, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said yesterday.
But he told reporters, "I do not think it is a national ID card." Critics fear such a card could violate privacy rights.
"It seems to me that we ought to try to be building toward an architecture where one card can do a number of different things for somebody so you do not have to carry 10 cards," he said.
The card is an alternative to post-Sept. 11, 2001 requirements that the US residents show their passports to re-enter from Canada and Mexico by the end of 2007.
Currently, the US residents coming into the country from Mexico or Canada usually only need to show a driver's license or birth certificate that proves nationality.
The proposal still would require passports or certain other secure ID documents from Canadians, Mexicans and other foreign citizens entering the United States.
wow im thinking this is going to be big...one day all americans will carry this card...
