It is left completely open for the government to add WHATEVER it pleases to it in the future. They can add RFID transmitters into every card and then track where every person is all the time. Congress has already talked about the idea of using RFID and it will probably happen. There are absolutely no restrictions for what the government can add to the ID. It is also up to the state whether or not they are going to use it, but if they don't use it they get no more money from the federal government. Sounds like a win-win to me. See you guys in 1984!
