Doesn't matter, as long as we keep the terrorists guessing. No way can they carry out an attack if the cops are checking IDs at the bank.
They're not paying attention....
I was listening to an interview on CNN with a soldier who had written a book about Iraq. He said that people who oppose the war aren't doing anything to harm the soldiers over there. He said it's the "apathetic middle" who do the most harm.
Example you're going out to this hot club and your man is paying for everything. So you put on your new pair of pants and jump in a cab. Get out walk on the streets. A cop approaches you "Vos Papier?" You dont have your wallet their in your jeans at home.
Booya. The night in jail.
Stand up for your own rights. Get active, write a nasty letter to your local op-ed page, or stage a no-identity-card-in.
here we go!
Kiss my ass.
I love the ACLU.....I heard that the next series of terrorist attacks were going to be made by Al Quaeda members dressed as Santa Claus....but thanks to the ACLU they have been banned in most public places!!!
YAY FOR BUSYWORK!
Do you take Diner's Club?
If you don't feel like showing your ID don't. The article does not say you will compeled to show it, or that action will be taken against those who do not show ID.
If this is implimented in the places that are likely terrorist targets; large downtown banks, transit centers (does Miami have transit centers?), there is no reason to belive that it is racial profiling or otherwise abusive.

Yeah! If we give some people rights soon everyone will want them. Then where will we be?
How is this not abusive? Who gets to decide what's a "likely target" and who belongs in any given area? What happens when the Miami police (or any other police organization) starts using these "anti-terrorist" tactics to arrest people for non-terrorist related crimes (which is the main problem with much of the "PATRIOT" act, i.e. the people implementing it are using the threat of terrorism to erode rights in general).
As far as "racial profiling", wo do you think is going to get asked for their ID first??
Not to open a whole other can o' worms here, but it is right that a 14 year old should be able to get an abortion without parental notification?
ice-cream for everybody!
It's certainly implied that actions will be taken. If there were no reprecussion for not presenting an ID how would the program even be effective? You think a terrorist that is willing to blow himself up would give two shits about showing an ID? Really, this is out government saying they don't know what the fuck is going on and they've resorted to randomly checking people to see if they're terrorists. Come on.

what's the difference, except that a nationwide card might be more effective?
There's a quid pro quo for all of the things you listed, i.e. proving your age to purchase alcohol/cigarettes etc. Do we now have to prove who we are in order to walk around in public??
I had this debate with my roommate. On one hand creating laws that bar minors from getting abortions is simply another step towards overturning Roe vs. Wade. On the other hand a parent should have the right to know if their child is pregnant.
I would think that if a pole was held you'd find parents voting one way and single/childless couples voting the other.
I was pretty torn when I voted for this because both sides make very valid points.
9 out of the 10 people that get pulled out of line in the Airports and made take off their shoes and searched are white women...and we all know white women aren't carrying bombs in their shoes.......
when the most resistant become comfortable with having their rights violated then the 'usual suspects' better not say shit when their time comes......and their time is coming.................people.............. hold on.......
I'm saying the idea is not abusive.
You are saying that it will applied in an abusive way.
When that happens it's time for the ACLU to step in.
Since they are the only Americans who are responsible enough to care about our basic liberties.
That way we will retain our rights, except for Scoobydoo who is turning in his rights for more responsibilities.
Dan
YES !! but that's a much,much deeper issue than racial profiling...... and if parental notification is required one day...shit will hit the fan...it will backfire BIG TIME
Interesting and scary theory, yet you seem to be right.
My half sister and her friend (2 tall blonde 25 year olds) got mad harrased in New-York by customs
Shit that's no good, the canadian passport/cross the broder thing also sucks
thats a joke right?
I belive that all parents should have the type of a relationship with their children that would encourage the children to confide in the parent.
I don't belive that the goverment can force that type of relationship on a family.
