On May the 10th, 2005, U.S. senators voted unanimously, with no discussion, and without even reading the bill, to create a national ID card - effectively an internal passport. By May 2008, the scheme will have become a reality.
The Senate approved an $82 billion spending bill for troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. But included in that package was a rider for what's known as the Real ID Act. Apparently senators who wanted to vote for the spending for troops package (a 'must pass' bill) also had to approve the Real ID legislation packaged up with it.
The system, to be bound up with driver's licenses, is now known to have been devised by former KGB chiefs General Yevgeni Primakov and General Alexander Karpov, contracted by the Department of Homeland Security to design a national identity card scheme.
The new program sees the creation of a "huge database including credit files, medical files, political and religious affiliation, military history, attendance at anti-government rallies etc" on every citizen called a State Security Citizen Threat File.
I remember reading comments made by Primakov some time back. The following URL mentions the interview where he says:
Quote:
... the White House will have more control over the American people than the Kremlin had over the Russian people when Stalin was alive. He said that and then he laughed. What Primakov finds funny are what he calls these "right wing flag wavers" that were so anti-communist and now they're supporting a state policy of internal passports.
Flashback: Remember some time back, when our so-called lifetime licenses were repealed and the new photo ID licenses became compulsory? Those photo ID licenses were designed to take advantage of facial recognition software, illegally introduced into the driver's licence scheme by the government of the day.
Here's a really good detailed overview of the scheme, written by Martin Doutre, including timelines, the original Polaroid press release which brought the facial recognition aspects to public attention etc - well worth a read just to be more informed about how these systems get implemented and what goes into the design of them behind the scenes.
