Here in Tennessee they won't give you a license unless you produce a Social Security number (at least for US citizens, it may be different for resident aliens). It was a big stink a few years ago when some people who didn't have SSNs for religious reasons had to go to COURT to get it resolved.

Personally I don't think anyone should HAVE to opt into the Social Security system, but that's another story for another thread.

A national ID is just another thing to worry with. I heard today, though, that the President is against it.

Now. Maybe we can get Batman on the case or something... Jethro Bodean always wanted to be a double-naught spy. He'd be perfect because no one would ever suspect him. ;-)
