#1 The social Security number already works as an identifier nationally. It would be nice to get something a bit more difficult to hijack.

#2 This is just the governors digging into the sugar bowl.

Illinois licenses already have all these things. The Sec. of State already checks these documents. There's no expense at our end, and I need a new license every eight years anyway.

And any state that can't do a proper ID at a reasonable price should be required to out-source it to Halliburton. That would wake people up.

#3 If a national ID was tamper-resistant it'll make it harder for those illegal aliens to vote. Can't have that!

Thus the ACLU lawsuit.

#4 I just renewed my license in PA. Very interesting procedure where you can renew on line and pay by VISA (Get the $ up front). Then they mail a voucher to the address on the license or the corrected address for the new license. You take the voucher to the Driver's License Agent (NOT Dmv) and they prepare a new license with digital photo, compare to the old license and send you on your way. Of course there's no assurance you could pass the driver's test, but you passed it 40 years ago.
