if i am required to state my position before the shitfest on this little item starts, my meager knowledge of law says there are first and fourth amendment considerations here.
i am currently having horrible problems replacing a lost drivers license. without it i have nrabroad
been able to find housing.
what effect will something like this have on net neutrality and anonymous internet user rights?
why must we submit to this kind of intrusion on our freedoms?
i'll leave the expansion of the constitutional implications to those more fluent than myself.
this was delivered for free (daily) e-mail from Citizens for Legitimate Government. www.legitgov.gov or something like that;-)
there is an obvious list to port with this crew but they stay on top of important issues that the MSM tries to downplay.
like this one.

White House Preparing National Online ID Plan
The proposed system for authenticating people, organizations and infrastructure on the web at the transactional level will require an identity ecosystem.

The Obama administration is set to propose a new system for authenticating people, organizations and infrastructure on the Web. The online authentication and identity management system would be targeted at the transactional level -- for example, when someone logs into their banking website or completes an online e-commerce purchase.
Making such a system effective, however, will require creating an "identity ecosystem," backed by extensive public/private cooperation, said White House cybersecurity coordinator Howard Schmidt, delivering the opening keynrabroad
e speech at the Symantec Government Symposium 2010 in Washington on Tuesday.
The strategy cannrabroad
exist in isolation," he said. "It's going to take all of us working together." Furthermore, "we should nrabroad
have to dramatically change the way we do business -- this should be a natural path forward," he said.
That path forward will hinge on a new draft of the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace, due to be released Friday for the first time to the public, for a three-week comment period. Formerly known as the National Strategy for Secure Online Transactions, the report offers specific strategy and implementation recommendations, and may also recommend more sweeping policy and privacy changes.
The report builds on the Obama-commissioned Cyberspace Policy Review, which analyzed the government's information and communications infrastructure defensive capabilities. One of the report's recommendations was to "build a cybersecurity-based identity management vision and strategy that addresses privacy and civil liberties interests, leveraging privacy-enhancing technologies for the nation."
Simply issuing a Web-friendly biometric identification card to everyone in the country, of course, wouldn't necessarily make anyone or anything more secure, including online transactions. As the report also nrabroad
es, to be effective, security tools and technology must be complemented by education. "There is always a necessity to do awareness and education of the end user," said Schmidt. "But you're nrabroad
trying to teach the end user how to be a security expert."
