Is it true that all citizens living in the United States will be forced to have a national I.D card next year?

Or is this just another urban legend? Credible sources are always helpful.Is it true that all citizens living in the United States will be forced to have a national I.D card next year?
I think you might be referring to the REAL ID Act. The act establishes uniform standards for driver licenses, which states must meet if their residents are to be able to use those licenses as identification for federal purposes (such as getting on an airplane).





States can choose not to comply with the act.





Here's a recent news article that gives some good background on it: http://www.buffalonews.com/home/story/18鈥?/a>Is it true that all citizens living in the United States will be forced to have a national I.D card next year?
Here in the U.S., we already have ';de facto'; national I.D. cards. They're known as drivers' licenses and social security cards. You can't use private transportation, open a bank account, enroll in college, or get a job without them.
vote against politicians who want this sort of thing..


what is it really for?? (hint: its not really for ID)





what it really is for is to create a sense of parania/fear among Americans.. keep Americans so freaked out about ';terrorists'; etc.. that they will accept anything.. convince them that there is a threat and you are acting to help them and they will DO ANYTHING.. ';oh save us Uncle Sam.. Save us!';





ya pretty soon they will want you to microchip your kids too.. it isnt real people.. the only threat to you is your own government trying to scare you!!!
How about. . .NO.
My understanding is the REAL-ID Law requires states to configure their Drivers Licenses %26amp; State ID Cards to a Federal standard %26amp; enter them into a Federal Data base. I'm nor sure of the effective date this is supposed to happen. I am also not sure if everyone is required to carry one, but it would be necessary in order to pass security in situations such as boarding a flight, for example.





Many states have passed their own resolutions stating they will not comply. If the Congress doesn't reverse the law, I hope the states prevail. A National ID system would offer no more security overall %26amp; could in fact increase the rate of ID theft.
I have heard of this, as it is already been implemented in areas of the UK. The I.D. card will likley be in conjunction with an implanted biochip and a new 'trackable scan-read' passport. Watch this interesting video from the BBC... mainly aimed at cameras and Big Brother, it speaks of the I.D. card. The credible BBC stations/websites and newspaper really give a bias, different perspective of whats going on in America and more so in Brittan.
I haven't heard of this but it could be so. I will be interested to see what answers you get.
