Summary put together from several quotes put together: A bill has been proposed requiring every worker in the nation to carry a national identification card with biometric information, such as a fingerprint, within the next six years, according to a draft of the measure. The national ID program would be titled the Believe System, an acronym for Biometric Enrollment, Locally stored Information and Electronic Verification of Employment. It would require all workers across the nation to carry a card with a digital encryption key that would have to match work authorization databases. The American Civil Liberties Union, a civil liberties defender often aligned with the Democratic Party, wasted no time in blasting the plan. "Creating a biometric national ID will not only be astronomically expensive, it will usher government into the very center of our lives. Every worker in America will need a government permission slip in order to work. And all of this will come with a new federal bureaucracy - one that combines the worst elements of the DMV and the TSA," said Christopher Calabrese, ACLU legislative counsel. The ACLU said "if the biometric national ID card provision of the draft bill becomes law, every worker in America would have to be fingerprinted." Interesting.
