First, it's not a new identity card. It's a driver's license, just like the driver's license you currently have, only with standardized security features, some of which your current license may already have. It will replace your current one, not be held in addition.

Second, states don't have to start issuing these until 2011, not May, and third, you're not being forced to get one at all, ever, if you don't want one.

However, the newscast said that if you did not have one, you would not be allowed to board an airplane.

As for another poster saying that one of the 9/11 pilots had 4 driver's licenses is true. That's not hard to do. All his "country" has to do is "issue" him several different passports/visas with different names so cross-checking licenses is null and void.

On one trip I had to Europe, I had two passports. One the red jacketed government official passport for the job I was to do for the Navy and one blue jacketed private passport for vacationing afterwards in countries that would not accept the government passport. And they were both legal.

It's a waste of time, a waste of money and an invasion of privacy that won't do whit on stopping international terrorists/spies, etc. from getting any kind of ID card they want.
