Are you familiar with the word, totalitarian? That's where America is headed for. One day, you won't be able to go anywhere without being tracked. It looks like the FBI is interested in becoming a KGB-type organization.
Your freedom is fading away, one piece at a time until it's all gone one day. People already gave up a lot of their liberties after 2001 when they passed the Patriot Act along with a bunch of other laws.
You'll be giving up even more by letting this happen.
Clearly, you have no concept of what privacy is and why it's important for us to preserve that right to privacy. It is the government's job to serve the Americans, not track every move they make. They are to fear the citizens, not the other way around. If you want to fear the government, move to China.

Meaning when, I go to the Ladies room they will know!American government just want more control over the people by keeping tabs on them. I guess the ol' Social Security card isn't as secured as it was before. Next thing you know they will be Micro-chipping us.

Vampy,
I believe if this does happen, and right now I cant see it happening. I can see them doing the same thing they do with driver's licenses and many other things.
When you go to get your passport or some other type of identification, this will be added on to that identification and they will just up the costs for each of us, thus paying for it ourselves.
I can see the need for it, but yet I dont want the government having anymore control over our lives than they already do.

Interesting...
There are a lot of PROs and CONs for this.
It's becoming quite clear that the government is trying to create a country with total information awareness and such. They will collect all sorts of data and more. What they will do with the information is a guessing game despite their claims to using it to track down the terrorists and criminals.
The Nazi government passed a law requiring the followers of Judaism to register and wear armbands to identify themselves. Then the information was used to hunt down and kill the Jews. Who's to say they won't use the information for similar reasons? Like say, the Muslims? Not saying they would, but never say never.
If you are willing to give up liberty in exchange for security, you deserve neither. As far I am concerned, people are continuing to give up more rights rather than getting them back later. In the end, everyone will realize the horrific mistake they made in letting the government do everything without consequences.
I better move out.
Just in case if the USA are f(bleep)k up, can I join you? heh
I am scared of it. I don't want they invade our privacy that they taking away
our rights. Any government should be not invading my privacy
My sister is very personal person. She would against this law! What a lucky for my sister. She will be not worried about it because in 5 years later, my sister will moving to France, because she love French.
She is encouraging to live in France. I am happy for her.

:roll:
Why should you worry about it? You're not an American. Worry about Canada, we can take care of ourselves, always have, always will.
Oh that's right, Canada can't take care of itself, so we take care of Canada--militarily. Before you respond, think, who watches your airspace and waterways?
That's right, the United States.
Secondly, the law is going after criminals and terrorists. Not everyday people.

Because you are my neighbour, and I'm a concerned neighbour. The actions your government take sometimes affect my country too as well. Politically and emotionally, that is.
I do worry about my country. No need to tell me to do so.
Geez, what a tool. Of course, someone like you would think that.
Canada is a sovereign nation. We monitor our own airspace and waterways. Although, we are an ally of the U.S., and collaborate with them. We are to assist each other on both sides if needed. But from what I know, they do not patrol our airspace and waterways. Maybe the international waters, but not the Canadian ones. That's our territory to patrol. We don't even allow American submarines to patrol near the Canadian waterways by Arctic ocean.
I expect the drones to believe every word the government feed them without questioning the motives. Do you think they are going to include just the criminals and terrorists' personal information without including the citizens' personal information? I am not talking about the current technology, what I am saying is that this will pave the road to a more advanced system where everybody's personal information will be included.
Please, let's be realistic.
After all, the US government did say that the SSN would be only used for one purpose for ever. Today, it is used for many purposes.
It's dangerous when the people don't see the need to question the government's motives. Not enough Germans did back in the 1930s and 42 million lives were wasted over a situation that could had been prevented in the first place.
That's not such a bad idea, Texas itself is a huge state. It should be able to stand on its own as a nation. States can secede from the USA if they want to.
