National ID

States challenge nat’l driver’s license

Wiki has a summary of the issues.

I am in favor of a universal ID system to help separate predators from the general population. I would like for my society to know who is entering the country, who is buying explosives, who is moving around large amounts of money, to keep tract of chronic predators who physically, emotionally or financially prey on others. In fact I support going further by gathering multiple forms of biometric data so that we do not have to rely on easily forged physical documents.

I would like for any information gathered to be available for review just as we now have a right to see our credit histories so we can challenge and correct information. I would like for there to be special Identity Courts that can expedite issues related to identity.

This seems to be a simple necessity in the context of the inevitably increasing globalization of the world. I just do not grasp how we can improve security without tracking suspicious behavior as determined by our elected representatives and the courts.
