No. What I am saying is that adding yet another piece of paper to
those already required will not enhance security any more than giving
illegal aliens a driver's license does.

We had a sufficient paper trail to have deported most, if not all, of
the perps from 9/11, but that did us no good. I already have a
passport.... what would a national id do that it won't?

A passport, or something similar, should be a requirement for everyone. I
like it.

That, I don't mind..... duplicating it with another redundant layer of
incompetent bureaucracy is what makes me crazy...
