It would include not just your name and picture, but your fingerprints and DNA. Just don't call it a national ID card. The Homeland Security Department is planning border crossing cards for Americans re-entering the country from Canada and Mexico. Officials hope to start issuing the PASS (for People Access Security Service) cards by the end of 2006, but will not require them for an additional year. A PASS card may also one day carry driver's license and other identification information, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Wednesday. But he told reporters, 'I don't think it's a national ID card.'" (01/19/06) Full News Story [Edited: 11:35 - Matt - linked] Number of Users: 1 | Number of Posts: 1 | ||||||
