Hi all,
 
Just want to forward this to the group. It's one of the scariest things
I've seen come out of Washington. You suppose people will be able to get
library cards without first getting their ID cards?
 
Senate approves electronic ID card bill
 
Americans will be required to obtain federally approved ID cards

ml?tag=nl> with "machine readable technology" that abides by Department
of Homeland Security specifications. Anyone without such an ID card will
be effectively prohibited from traveling by air or Amtrak, opening a
bank account, or entering federal buildings.
