Brill's Contentious ID Card

pwackerly writes "The New York Times (illegal kidney sale required) is running a story on a private venture funded by the man behind CourtTV to sell ID cards that let you bypass security, both national (airports) and private (your business's lobby). Outside of the standard national ID concerns, now we'd have to worry about a terrorist stealing our super-secret ID from our wallet. Don't these people learn anything from reading 'Mostly Harmless?'"

    Yeah, and there are so many office buildings, the odds of being in the next one they fly an airplane into are so slim, it's not worth worrying about. In fact, why don't we just forget this whole 9/11 thing, since it only affected about 3000 people and their families, and drop security alltogether?

    This is absolute asshole behaviour, which I would not tolerate. I'd answer about none of their questions because it's not their fscking business! Either they'd accuse me of something with the needed evidence or they let me go where I want to, especially if I want to go OUT of their country!

    I've never been to Israel and hope that the normal people there are more like the only two Israelis I met before, which were really nice people. I can only wonder why they elect such a war criminal, murderer and fascist like Scharon and the other assholes for being their leaders.

    In a non-police-state country, your answers should be:

    For a conference.
    None of your business.
    None of your business.
    None of your business.
    None of your business.
    None of your business.
    No.
    None of your business.
    None of your business.
    None of your business.
    None of your business.
    None of your business.
    None of your business.
    None of your business.
    None of your business.

    It's too bad they had you by the balls and a plane was the only practical way out of their wretched country. If I were you I wouldn't go back.

    [from the article]:
    " Other partners include Lehman Brothers; TransCore, the company that created the E-ZPass electronic toll system; and ChoicePoint, a Georgia company that will screen the customers."

    First Class Citizens, without any of those troubling "black marks on their permanent records" that their high school gym coaches warned them about, will be recommended by some of the best liars in the business. These card carrying inoffenders will be vouched for by the Lehman fraud company, the EZPass system (that we bought under assurances of court-order privacy protection, now for sale to lawyers for divorce investigations), and ChoicePoint, which "arbitrarily" erased the names of >55,000 Florida 2000 voters (probably >80% Gore voters). Weapons of Mass Deception.
