Why do they charge $100 for that
card ..TIWC? Seems like it's kind of over the top. What does it get
you?

It gets you a fancy ID card that has all of your biometric data,
including fingerprints, encoded on to an internal chip. All people
involved in public transportation are now required to have one.




And the Coast Guard officers couldn't care less about even looking at the
damned thing. They know it's a farce. They respect the Master License they
issue but they reject the redundant TWIC card. Why? Because the stupid
bureaucrats don't give them scanners for the biometric chip. So what good is
it?

LOL!
