The CNN headline is entirely misleading. Read the clip. They just want better compliance with States and Napolean-itano is bargaining with governors, never mind the 10th amendment and by-passing what citizens think. It will still be a National ID card irregardless of what they name it, even if the original legislation is rescinded.

The goal is still the Federalization of a State drivers license, which taps into everyone's Socialist Security Number and biometric data (including facial mapping photos), therefore linking all financial (bank accounts), medical, legal, and personal credit record by hijacking state drivers licenses for surveillance and data-mining purposes--not to thwart terrorists, but to monitor, track "free Americans" at will, whenever they choose (because you all will comply and consent).

This was all based upon 9/11 of course and the typical plea of "necessity" toward a Big Brother Security State.

Excellent Observation!
