Legislation Would Put Biometrics on Drivers' Licenses!

Recently introduced legislation would require all states to incorporate
biometric identifiers into drivers' licenses within five years.
The ACLU has charged that the licenses are basically national ID cards.

[Editor's (Murray) Note: Drivers licenses already contain the

reconciliation.  Within the time contemplated by this proposal it will
be possible to routinely and automatically do such reconciliation.]
