Maybe the card itself is not a civil rights violations, but the many activities
for which they will use such a thing are. First, if I'm required to disply my
shiny new Federal ID, I consider it unreasonable search. I think of the right
to travel anonymously as a fundamental. Further, I don't want the federal
government tracking my consumer habits through a requirement to use this card
for some or all purchases.
This whole idea makes me very edgy.
