>>whatever, this card is a waste of money and its just gonna make a larger bureaucracy and only helps companies that manufacture these cards.

Companies already make the cards we use - what would be the difference?

>>all cards can be forged, its just a matter of time.

If the ID check on the card scans to ensure that the card is actually in a database - it would be VERY hard to fool that no? Sure you could steal someones barcode - but you'd no doubt have to steal the barcode of someone who looked like you with the same features. As it is now - all someone needs to do to forge a card is simply create a working reprint of the card - no checks, no measures to ensure such a card was actually issued by any STATE AGENCY (I've seen some states cards that are just a flimsy piece of paper laminted).

If you cant see the ability to curb identity theft, and fraud (especially against small businesses) - then you're really thinking too narrowly.

[quote:f31cb]i know someon who has been taken into interrogation for weeks and wasnt allowed to talk to his lawyer, his wife and he wasnt given any idea when they would be released.[/quote:f31cb]

Then he needs to file a criminal complaint against whichever agency was holding him. As it is - I SINCERELY doubt your story - no offense.
