Jon Miller: MikeH is a shockingly revolting dolt and a masturbatory urine-reeking sideshow freak whose word is as valuable as an aging cow paddy.

If every citizen and legal alien hasone then it shouldn't be hard to get one. You just use an agent who's legally in the country or better yet steal someone elses and swipe the card as you enter the train. Unless it does eye scans or something then anyone can use it.
On an amtrak train one of the numerous trainmen who check your ticket presumably also check your ID.
Of course you dont have this on metros, many commuter trains, etc. But then ID is NOT required on metros, commuter trains, etc, as I keep pointing out, and no one seems to be listening."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

Pretty soon, I will not have just any ID card, I will have a MICROSOFT (R) ID card !

this is all a plot to get people so fed up with the goverment and public transportation so more people drive cars and burn more oil.

The card will cost something ridiculous like £93 per person. And it will probably need to be updated every so often as people age.

You can do that, but getting a crowded commuter bus in downtown during rushhour probably has a lot more impact.Originally posted by Trajanus
You might as well enter a crowded bar/theatre/... and blow youself up. If you want to make a lot of casualties, nothing is going to stop you. The fact that this does not happen 'en masse' shows that suicide bombing isn't all that popular anyway.
I don't think the ID card thing is particularly necessary, but I also don't see anything inherently wrong with it, either.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016. "You're fired." "I quit."Comment

does anyone else realize that there is NO requirement in the US to carry ID on commuter bus? Or a commuter train, or an intercity bus?"A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

Really, I don't mind a national ID system as long as it has nothing more than what is on our drivers licenses, people look at your driver's license all the time (like when a store clerk asks for it when you write a check). Now, if said database had personal stuff, then I would be pissed.Comment
