Hi Keith,
Yes, I noticed the report about legislation in Congress regarding the
national ID card. In Texas, there is a bill pending that
permits the Texas Dept. of Transportation ( TxDot) to implant a
transponder into each new vehicle registration sticker that affixes to the
windshield. This law should go into effect Jan 2006.
The reported purpose is for use on Tollways. Permanent EZ tag if you will. However the transponder will have imbedded data identifying the registrant that includes everything found on you drivers liscense application ( not just whats on your drivers liscense). The report is that when you enter a tollway you will be billed for that use. BUT an uninsured vehicle can be recognized and sent a $ 250.00 fine for driving without liability insurance. Now couple that with the national ID and we get a better view of where the
Homeland Security laws are headed.
AND.. couple that with the new IRS plan to "privatize" collections of past
due IRS taxes to Washington law firm who will receive a portion of all past due
taxes collected similar to Texas law regarding real estate taxes "farmed out
collectors i.e law firms"
Notwithstanding , a person can "jimmy" the transponder, an illegal alien
wont have a liscense sticker to begin with much less insurance.
