Subject: RE: National I.D. Card
Be interesting to see how Charlton Heston & the "pry it from my cold, dead hands" crew of guardians of the rights of Americans react to this. I bet we don't hear a peep.

Doesn't take Bin Laden's money either. You can get an excellent fake passport on the streets of NY City for way less than $1k.

This won't make a bit of difference in safety or security- its just a sop to make people THINK they're more secure. But it sure will cost a fortune to implement & increase the size of the Federal Government significantly to implement.

Thought these Republicans wanted to eliminate useless government programs, reduce the size of government and fight crime (like gun violence) by "enforcing existing laws..." & all that pap? Guess not.....

Best, Greg
