"It is the beginning of a surveillance society," he said.

...the cards would effectively turn a state driver's license into a national identification card that would intrude on privacy, allow the federal government to track people's movements and block travel for Alaskans who don't have the card.

It hasn't passed yet, and we do have some knuckledragging, mouthbreathers in the Legislature that buy into all the fear-mongering which spawned this plan to tag all our citizens.

The bill could use support to boost the chances of it's passing...

Call or write your legislators..

The Alaska State Legislature

It won't take any more of your time than it takes to post here, and it could make a difference...

Wow, this stuff is scary, next they are gonna demand a "Loyalty Oath" be given at the checkout in the grocery store before you will be allowed to buy bread or milk. Does this mean that if you have some sort of infraction and have to go to court, you would not be allowed access because you don't have the right ID? So much for a jury of our peers if we are not allowed access.

One only need question the justification given to institute this new regime of tracking citizen's....

....why, it's needed to 'keep you safe', you shouldn't question it's need, ....it's for your own good.

If you do question the implementation of this,

....you must be 'for the enemy',

....you must not 'care about America's safety', .......

One can pretend to be funny,

I wouldn't mind a little bar code tattoo on my hand, or a microchip implant. Then I could just scan myself rather than digging out an ID for airports, getting pulled over by the cops, banks, hotels and various other places that require ID's. Just scan the hand.
