4 states to insert RFID chips in driver's licenses

Just because you have an RFID chip in your driver's license doesn't mean the authorities are watching you; it simply means they can if they want, whenever they want. Arizona, Michigan, Vermont, and Washington will be the first states to begin placing the radio frequency identification chips in their citizens' licenses.

The chips don't need to be physically read by someone scanning your license -- they can be read by monitors within a 30-foot range. Information contained will include name, DOB, physical characteristics, and a private identity number that will allow access to further information stored in the state's DMV database. One good thing about the enhanced ID's: travelers will be able to cross the border without a passport as of January 2009.

The Department of Homeland Security is in favor of the program, promoting it under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. Said a DHS fact sheet, "Multiple cards can be read at a distance and simultaneously with vicinity RFID technology, allowing an entire car full of people to be processed at once." Motorists won't be compelled to use an enhanced ID, however -- in the beginning, it will be by voluntary issue only.


at what point will people realize that the US government is slowly taking away all privacy? :x

I hope that Ohio is not next to do this :eh:

Lame. I can see its good points. However I like have a few degrees of privacy. I dont want the cop driving down the road scanning everyones license.
Thankfully its voluntary. But somepoint it wont be. Bummer that washington is doing it. :cry:
Last thing I want the cop to do is know exactly who i am, Where i live, and what my mail address is When I zip past him doing 100+ then manage to escape him catching me, via old back roads. if he gets your license info then your screwed anyways ;_;. Actually thats probably a good thing(not for me, but for everyone else).

- Wed Jan 23, 2008 11:06 pm #39013 Think about toll roads... They will know how long it takes you to get from gate to gate. Use that info with the distance between the gates and they will be able to calculate your speed.
People bitch about the speed cameras when they get a ticket in the mail, this is even worse. You wouldn't even get a pic of your car speeding, you would just get a letter saying where you were and how fast you were going and how much your fine is :thumbdown:
