    Would you trade a small amount of your privacy, for more security

    So simple, So why isn't it being done. 99% of people over the age of 18 have some form of identity, credit card, drivers license basic ID, whatever

    Slap a bar code on that piece of ID even the most basic warehouse inventory tracking software could manage these ID's, get on a plane, go across the border, the ID is scanned. It would be pretty easy to catch people with fake IDs and people who don't belong

    It could also be added to your license plate, rent a car and tell them you are going to georgia, instead your car enters an airport in dallas, a little red flag pops up.

    I think we should be doing this, what do you think?

    Absofreakinlutely NOT. Why not just tattoo a bar code on everyone's neck the minute they're born? Not a good idea.
    fuck you.

      The reason I say that Rip, is because you said a *small* amount of privacy... that's not a small amount. That's pretty much all of it.
      fuck you.

        for the sake of argument .. our Social Security Numbers are pretty much barcodes ... although I agree that we shouldn't be tracked like that. It's just not cricket ... and we would pretty much throw most of our privacy out the window. Plus, can you imagine the problems it would bring for those trying to cheat on their wives????

            Sorry man, but giving up our freedoms and RIGHTS to privacy is not the way to defend it. Ever.
            fuck you.

                so you are in favour of the terrorists being able to move freely back and forth across the Canada US border, and being able to board airplanes with bought identification?

                  If that's your solution Rip, then yes I guess I'm in favor...

                    if we take away our freedom, they've won. period. I'm not all for that, I think we need to be a bit more strict in our controls on airports .. perhaps set up an international authority to handle it.

                    I'm willing to give up some rights .. like body x-rays at airports, etc ... but being tracked everywhere you go seems a bit excessive.

                      Listen up... I am in favor of ME being able to move freely. I am in favor of YOU being able to move freely. And I am NOT willing to give that up because of a bunch of asshole terrorists.

                      The minute you start passing out and giving up our freedoms like freakin' candy, there will be no end to it.

                      What's next? Maybe we should limit the type of work people can do? Limit WHERE they can go? Limit WHEN they can go there? Sounds alot like communism to me.

                      fuck you.

                        What the fuck..
                        how is having a barcode on an ID such a big "invasion of privacy"

                        I flew in from vegas this morning, maybe 40 people on the entire plane, hell only 3 in biz. class. We need tighter security measures so people can feel a little less stressed out about all this shit.

                        A lot of people are scared shitless, and I wouldn't mind having a barcode on my ID if it means there's more security and safety for myself.

                          Its not like it cant be tracked where we go now anyways, who cares if its a barcode or not. Anyone that uses, debit cards, bank machines or credit cards is essentially be tracked, they know where you were and when. And how often would we need to use the bar code? moving between states, countries, boarding planes? Doesnt seem to be that big of deal

                              Jack, I'd tell you but if you're asking this question, you won't understand anyway.
