    A Response to Glenn's post from a draft Mikey club

    Glenn,

    I found this post over at a Draft Mikey website.

    Is this an attack on civil liberties, or is this a chance to improve an already creaky system (like Social Security cards) that is taken advantage of on a daily basis. It is funny when you consider that everyone that is born in America immediately gets a Social Security number, but this other form of identification using biometrics would be a bad thing because it would reduce civil liberties?

    The person writing the post goes on to trivialize what the ramifications of this biometric system true implications might be.
