One time I got pulled over and I didn't have my ID with me. I think this would have helped me.

I think a chip should be implanted at birth and the police issued scanners.

It sounds like another way for the government to spy on us. Isn't it bad enough that they listen in on our phone calls?

I thought the Real Id Act had a provision which barred residents from states not in compliance from using their drivers license as identification when boarding planes, or for other Federal identification purposes.

Wouldn't that inconvenience Utahns at some point?

Reminds me of a book I read: 1984

Harlan Ellison warned us....
As did so many others....
Science Fiction is becoming Science Fact.

"REAL ID" first..... then, to "make things easier", you will be forced into being "chipped".

We are cattle....

We are sheep....
