Good, we need a national ID. This can also be used when one goes to vote to verify the person's identity. Eventually, maybe we can link an electronic currency system to the national IDs to eliminate hard currency. Transaction logs could only be started / viewed by law enforcement once a search warrant has been obtained (protect privacy) to assist in criminal investigations.
I also would have no problem with a DNA sample taken at birth to be logged into CODIS. A copy of the profile could be stored in the national ID to better tie it to the person.
Is it sarcasm or is it fascism? You decide...
