This is just round one. Governments drool over getting RFID chips into IDs. That way the cop could just cruise past you and get your info up on the screen. Just because they didn't get it this year, does not mean they are going to stop trying.
And, as much as I hate the idea of a national ID, and I do, the notion of having 50 or so rather quaint groups all doing it for themselves with different standards and regulations ain't rocking my world neither.
There is something to be said to the degree that any real ID with biometric markers and RFID technology might - just might - make all that sex/gender, eye color, hair color stuff obsolete. I work at a place with a fingerprint scan timeclock, its all going that way, and it might no be so bad.
Can't we just skip straight to the mark of the beast and get it over with.
