Radio chip coming soon to your driver’s license?

The proposal, which has earned the support of Janet Napolitano, the newly chosen chief of the Department of Homeland Security, would embed radio chips in driver’s licenses, or “enhanced driver’s licenses.”

“Enhanced driver’s licenses give confidence that the person holding the card is the person who is supposed to be holding the card, and it’s less elaborate than REAL ID,” Napolitano said in a Washington Times report.

REAL ID is a plan for a federal identification system standardized across the nation that so alarmed governors many states have adopted formal plans to oppose it. However, a privacy advocate today told WND that the EDLs are many times worse.

Radio talk show host and identity chip expert Katherine Albrecht said REAL ID earned the opposition of Christians because of its resemblance to the biblical “mark of the beast,” civil libertarians opposed it for its “big brother” connotations and others worried about identity theft issues with the proposed databases.

“We got rid of the REAL ID program, but [this one] is way more insidious,” she said.

Enhanced driver’s licenses have built-in radio chips providing an identifying number or information that can be accessed by a remote reading unit while the license is inside a wallet or purse. More WND News

    They are working on a method to use GPS units to track vehicle movement in order to tax people for road use, an RFID enabled license would allow them to bill the appropriate operator. How long before we are taxed to use the sidewalk,local park, or even jump in the river. And why should we be double taxed for using what we already paid to have built in the first place, it’s like you giving me money to build you a house, and then I charge you rent to live in it- duh?. You know the jews don’t actually need to steal from anyone, not when they have 300million idiots that just work real hard to give it to them. Now off to work and don’t forget your lunchbox…
