2. Sounds good to me.
I never had a problem with a national identity card. We already have easily forgeable state identity cards. We already have our identitifying information in easily stealable form. We already have information that can be "read at vital checkpoints" in the form of easily copied ID badges. All that we lack is a universally read ID.

And the cheap shot that an ID card would make the suppliers of ID cards rich--thanks for showing why we can't possibly win another elecion, since no policy can be proposed without a mau-mauing. Hey, dope, you could have the Fed gov't implement the system, putting the technology to read the matters in the public domain. Then private enterprise could fall all over themselves creating hardware and software for a competitive price.
