Genie, I do understand your objection to a National I.D. Card. I, too, hope that it doesn't come to that. If it is determined that the best way our law enforcement agencies can track foreign visitors, or those whose Visas have expired, it may come to that. We are so use to so many freedoms and some of which might have to be compromised if we are to make our country safe. The I.D. card may be one of them.DougR
