Rfid Chip In Ny Drivers License

New York is joining Washington State and North Carolina by offering motorists the option to purchase an Enhanced Driver's License (EDL) with an embedded RFID chip. The license will enable travelers to pass in and out of Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean without having to use a traditional passport. The DMV also notes that no personal information is stored on the chip, just an identification number—so paranoid travelers should rest easy...unless they are lying (remember, the government watches every move you make). All-in-all, spending an extra $30 for the enhanced license seems like a pretty sweet deal when you consider that a passport runs about $150 these days. [DMV via CNET via Jalopnik]

The RFID chip has an identification number that is unique to your license. It has absolutely no personal identification on it, and state employees actually don't even have access to the PIN that is attached to your RFID chip. The PIN number matches up with a federal DHS database. You have a point. But the RFID chip in the Driver's License is just one more control and a sign of the tightening of the net around us. And it's not just National control, but International control - so NWO - One World Federation.
