    Neat. Then all we would need is a new mailing list on (un)SecurityFocus
    that will target binary reading, and magnetics to spoof these cards. Come
    on now, the whole concept of it is a horrible idea. "Get your National ID
    card right now!" For what? To keep track of when I take number twos, what
    color boxers I buy. Information gathered from all sorts of these cards
    (even those annoying supermarket swipe cards) is getting way out of hand.

    And what happens if you don't have the money in your account right then
    and there? You certainly must have sent a postdated check once in your
    life. If you couldn't pay right there would they choose to put you on the
    new and improved (carryover from DHS No Fly List) No Drive List, then
    arrest you. Would make practical business sense. You go from a $50.00
    speeding ticket to having to pay $5000.00 in bail. Never fear though you'd
    get the money back but then the fed in the meantime can use your hard
    earned cash on some Money Market/IRA/GREASE_SOMEONES_POCKET_ACCOUNT to
    replete the national debt and buy themselves a CLS500. Maybe even return
    some of your hard earned - now out the door - Social Security benefits.

    Yea I ramble on too much ...
