    National ID in the U.K.
    National ID cards in Britain may become compulsory by 2011, plus anyone renewing a passport there after 2008 might have to buy an identity card at that time. The cards were recently criticized by a former intelligence agent as being a "present" to terrorists, organized criminals and spies, in the event that they gain access to their database.

    All U.S. citizens to receive National ID card by 2008

    The Real ID Act, passed by Congress and signed by President Bush on May 11, 2005, mandates that all U.S. citizens will receive a National ID card by May of 2008.


    Without this National ID, you won't...


    Drive your car
    Board a plane, train, or bus
    Enter any federal building
    Open a bank account
    Hold a job


    If you can’t hold a job or have a bank account, how much buying and selling will you be able to do?

    Yeah, we should all burn our passports and any other identification document so spies and terrorists cannot use them in their own benefit. :D
