Re: [privacy] Social Security Card to be National ID?

["C Q" <kyle.c.quest () gmail com>]

You are right. I didn't word it correctly. I meant to say that
I talked about those two issues. Yes, one of the main benefits
behind introducing National ID is to have better tools
in preventing what you mentioned (the whole pilot license thing).
I agree that this should really be about that and less about
controlling illegals. It's just that website with the original article
tried to get immigration into the mix. I just had to say something about
that...
