Special Report
YOUR PAPERS, PLEASE
How a National Identification Regime Would Threaten Privacy, Freedom--and Security
"The system is perfect. It's never wrong.
Until it comes after you."--trailer for the movie "Minority Report"
So you think it can't happen here?
Think we'll never get to a time when
Big Brother can stop you on the street
and demand to see "your papers"--then detain
you at the local police station because you
failed to pay for a traffic ticket...or
register for the draft...or carry your
national ID card?
In the weeks and months since September 11,
we have heard all too many conservatives,
liberals, "libertarians," and alleged freedom
lovers of every description bleating,
almost in unison: "Hey, why don't we
have a national ID card already?"
We've also heard: "Hey, given the extent to
which Big Brother is peeping at us anyway,
what's the problem? We already have Social
Security numbers, credit card reports
available over the Internet, etc., so why
not go all the way and impose a national
identification card? What's the big deal?"
My thoroughly documented, 46-page Special
Report discusses:
* What a national identification card is,
and who's advocating it. Why it's a big deal.
* How "libertarians" like Congressman Ron Paul
and Reason Foundation's Robert W. Poole, Jr.
are working to pave the way to a national ID card--
despite their nominal rejection of such a card.
* How the state driver's license and a so-called
"trusted traveler" card could each be used to pave
the way to a full-fledged national ID card. Before
anybody realizes what's really happening.
* The fraudulence of assurances that our privacy
would be protected in a national identification
regime.
* The track record of similar assurances: The big
Social Security lie about safeguarding our privacy.
Regulation Number One.
* How Big Brother helps make possible skyrocketing
rates of credit card theft and identity theft.
* How Big Brother is already exercising social
control of the citizenry through state driver's
licenses and other privacy-violating schemes.
* How terrorists could benefit from a national
identification regime.
* The dangers to you personally of a national
identification regime. The dangers to your freedom,
to your privacy, to your security. Where we've been,
where we may be headed.
* Why a national identification card will have more
than a name and number on it. The centralized
database to which it would be linked. Microchips
and biometrics.
* How to attack terrorists and investigate legitimate
suspects without attacking and investigating
everybody else at the same time.
* Whether a national identification regime would have
prevented the attacks of September 11.
* Much more.
