A senior Homeland Security official recently argued that Internet
anonymity should outlawed in the same way that driving a car without a
license plate is against the law. "When a person drives a car on a
highway, he or she agrees to display a license plate," Erik Barnett,
an assistant deputy director at U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement and attache to the European Union at the Department of
Homeland Security, wrote. "The license plate's identifiers are ignored
most of the time by law enforcement. Law enforcement will use the
identifiers, though, to determine the driver's identity if the car is
involved in a legal infraction or otherwise becomes a matter of public
interest. Similarly, should not every individual be required to
display a 'license plate' on the digital super-highway?"
