America is going to get a national ID card by the looks of it.

  1. dude, this sucks soooooo bad. I did my CS492 (Social implications of computing) course project on the stupidity of National ID cards.

    Schneier can be kinda big on himself, but he’s a real smart dude and is genuinely concerned with creating real security, not the appearance of it (which is exactly what REALID is).

  2. And the bill passed. I also think this is horribly stupid. It’s kind of creepy watching America turn in to this fascist state.

  3. And here is an FAQ at CNET on the bill.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
