The problem with being a NY Times reader is that Daily News readers cannot read beyond the first paragraph. Provided were a handful of examples why an NID is required.

Next Madi Gras, I will put your name on my IDs, smash storefronts, get arrested, use your name, and disappear. Last time, they were released because they could provide the best ID we currently have - a picture driver's license. What will you say when the cops appear at your door with a bench warrant for your arrest? That we don't need no stinking NID system? That alone is one reason. But as Lisa said, we are rehashing what has already been posted. I recommend you first read like a NY Times reader. There are three columns of posts containing numerous reasons for an National ID verfication and protection system.

Sometimes I just think I was talking to myself. However Liza - thank you for originally bringing this topic up in a previous post. Since then I did a lot of reading and asking questions from people who most need the NID. What I discovered was a current system at greater threat than I originally would have thought. There is one curious pattern. Those who most need an NID are those who earn substancially more money, are more often the pillars of economic America, and who have substancial economic activity. How many people do you know whose Visa bill is larger than their mortgage (their mortgage includes a $20K per year property tax) and who pay off that bill every month? These people don't fear EasyPass nor the NID, but really require the NID as defined by those two Strategic Objective points.
