Oh, Look: A National ID Card

Schneier on Security: REAL ID tells of a Federally mandated program that will, essentially, turn driver’s licenses into a national ID card.

Gosh, I remember when the last serious attempt to overhaul health care was shouted down because it required “smart card” technology. How times change, far too rapidly and rarely for the better.

On the Other Hand…

Last week, I got to walk into a crowded meeting room, open up my notebook computer and say, “Alright, you have me for a half hour. What’s up?”

It was sort of like being Tony Stark. Except for the whole good-looking technological genius superhero billionaire alcoholic thing.

On the other hand, I solved all their problems, so I guess the “superhero” thing isn’t entirely out of line.

Ooooh, I get arrogant when I’m tired, don’t I?
