U.S. Considers Microsoft Passport as National ID
An anonymous submitter writes: "Ladies and gents, the endtimes have begun. The Seattle Times is reporting that Mark Forman, associate director of information technology at the White House (or 'America's CIO', as he bills himself) has said the feds are considering the use of Microsoft's Passport technology to ID every citizen and every business seeking access to government services online. This is about as scary as it gets." To be fair, it looks very preliminary. Read the article. So many companies have tried to assist the government in providing services over the Net... but I guess if your lobbyists are good enough, you can be heard at the top.
Because Slashdot is only about FUD.

No, they just run the CIA.
Seriously, the CIA has sold cocaine to American citizens to fund its operations

It's the end of my comment as I know it and I feel fine.
What can I say. This really doesn't look good. How blind persons can be. Good bye.
buddy, you're just ignorant. If you were posting with a real userid I might bother collecting some links for you.
I suppose there's a chance the CIA never sold drugs to US citizens (if you don't count working with the drug dealers further back in the supply chain), but they certainly do have their hands dirty. (bloody actually)
You're right about one thing tough, this is very much OT.
