Re: James Glassman wants national IDs: "We have to give up" privacy

Dangerous? Yes, there are dangers to a mandatory national I.D. card, but there may be greater dangers without one. The fact is, to live in a society as vulnerable as ours, we may have to give up something - but I disagree that what's lost is freedom. Instead, it's privacy, and maybe not even that.

This guy is clueless: privacy is a form of freedom. I have yet to see a post 9/11 scheme that would actually enhance my safety in any significant way. Even police states have terrorists.
