ID That Doubles as Prepaid Debit Card...

I thought this was interesting seems like one more step towards the smart card/chip. I guess testing the system out on illegal immigrants first makes all the sense in the world :-\


"The ID card, dubbed the City Service Card, would provide access to the library, other city services, and could optionally be activated as a rechargeable debit card. It would be similar to those offered by San Francisco and Oakland, where IDs are issued to any resident, regardless of immigration status, the mayor said according to the Los Angeles Times."

A little freaky. But the time was to eventually come. Use it against a small population, then later to the public as a whole.
