RFID Chip Technology: Capable of Tracking Your Movements
Embed:
This is an important issue that requires "We the People" to get up and do something to make a change. That is, unless you like the idea of having your driver's license enhanced with more info, impregnated with an RFID chip capable of tracking your movements, and tied to a National database shared among the states as well as other entities both private and Foreign. (What a target that will make for the 14 year old hackers once they get tired of breaking into Defense computers.) Used as primary identification, it will be required for purposes such as boarding a plane or other form of interstate travel (possibly even vehicular checkpoints at state boarders), opening a bank account, entering ANY Federal building, collecting Social Security (the years of paying in don't count now?) or any other purpose the government can regulate and obviously for driving.
The requirements are to be dictated by the Department of Homeland Security and are open-ended. Additional parameters are at the sole discretion of the DHS. An early draft of this law would have provided for it not to be subject to judicial review, meaning that the courts would be powerless over it.
The supposed purpose of this Act is to deter terrorism by creating a means of ID that is resistant to tampering and duplication, making it near impossible for terrorists to obtain ID's. Holding to the premise that it would be unlikely for a terrorist to obtain a license in the first place, I ask what then is the purpose for RFID chips (which are in preliminary testing now) if not to track us American cattle? Over 600 organizations have expressed concerns, many stating that such a card would do nothing to deter terrorists. Any terrorist hell bent on terror will find a way and legislating away our freedom will not stop them any more than stripping away Second Amendment rights from law abiding citizens have served to deter criminals. Laws don't stop crime, all they do is draw a line in the sand defining criminal behavior and all this law does is to set more boundaries for you and me.
