Thomas C. Greene: HR 1268 good for terrorists!

Thomas C. Greene’s column on the new law calls the law a “legislative Trojan horse”. Some quotes:

“[The law] it will give the federal government long-sought control over the movements of Americans, which is exactly what about half of its boosters had in mind.”

Here’s why the cards will be good for terrorists:

“Once these cards become established, … They will become the most valuable fraudulent ID documents available, and the black market supplying them will flourish in unprecedented splendor. Criminals will get them. Terrorists will get them. Illegal aliens will get them. They'll pay a lot more than they do today for identity documents, but these will be worth the expense. They'll be really convincing.”
