The idea is to put a chip in the ID and require an individual to always carry it with them. Then, if a bad guy had a real ID they could in THEORY pinpoint his location with a satellite. (or drone) Or can track his location by seeing how many sensors he has passed in traveling. It's the same kind of 'strip' that's in money now (hold it up to the light once to see it) This is a way to electronically count how much money you have in your pocket at say, an airport. Anyone with over X amount of cash on them at an airport is pulled aside and questioned. And so a National ID while having merits to security, could also be used to destroy civil liberties.
I live in Ohio and here is a bill coming up where they want to use your license as a passport for Canada. I have not heard anything about the bill since July
I did not know that,thanks for adding.
