It is really not a matter of IF rather WHEN

Prior to the Sept 11 tragedy, for crossing the border where we are, there was what was called a 'Pace' lane for border travellers, which they would apply for a special identification sticker, on their vehicle

This allowed them to bypass the line ups and move quickly through the border crossings

I am guessing that an ID such as this would be used at airports and border crossings,

if you have it... you go through quickly, if you don't then you line up with the rest of the people, where now it is taking some times 4 to 6 hours to cross the border

I can't see it being a big problem for most people unless you are a recreational drug user... then perhaps you wouldn't like it, right now I hazard a guess that not a lot of drugs are making it across the borders right now anyways

"In a survey released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, seven out of 10 Americans favored a requirement that citizens carry a national identity card at all times to show to a police officer upon request."

Why would that be any harder to forge than a passport? All that will accomplish is more revenue for the forgers.

that's what they have all around Europe. And nobody care because it is rarely ever used.
I don't feel supressed or controlled just because I have to have some kind of ID with me
