They'll say hey, you've already surrendered your biometric number during fingerprinting for driver's licenses.
It will be too late.

Sounds like Microsoft. No, really. I'm dead serious.
Like it or not, people have to use Mickeysoft crap sooner or later. Want to read that document? Read that email? Run that program? Purchase things (software which runs)? It's garbage. I know it's garbage. Many of us here know it's garbage. But we have to use it anyway. Compare this to the smartcard as proposed like this:
I know it's garbage. Many of us here know it's garbage. But we have to use it anyway. Want to read that document? Read that email? Access that computer system? Drive your car? Get in your house? Get through a toll booth? Enter or leave the country? Better make sure your papers are in order.
The high-tech American Leviathan is already in place. The problem is that it'll just get worse because the sheeple are, by definition, naked, stupid, and blind.
This is, well what can I say but, BULL. This is the typical line one gets from the sheeple, "I don't like MS but I am *forced* to use it", or "I don't like Credit Cards but I can't live without them". Life sucks deal with it. You have two choices: either use it or don't but quit your whining. I will not use a dumbcard today, tomorrow, or ever (I have never owned a CC). The herd will always be the herd but if you follow along are you really any different? - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
