Card carrying Americans.(National Security)
Amitai Etzioni et al., "Reliable Identification for Homeland Protection and Collateral Gains," in Creating a Trusted Network for Homeland Security, The Markle Foundation, December 2003 (markle.org)
Since 9/11, many Americans have worried about the measures governments use to separate terrorists and other potential wrongdoers from ordinary citizens and visitors going about their business. In an appendix to a longer report on how to distribute intelligence data related to homeland security, a group of scholars, activists, political leaders, and corporate executives led by George Washington University professor Amitai Etzioni, examine ways to improve "purposeful identification," a means of verifying one's identity in order to gain access to a controlled area such as an airport, school, or country of which one is not a citizen.
The authors identify a wide range of problems with current efforts to protect sensitive facilities, e.g., government agents using homemade credentials have crossed borders and entered federal buildings--even secure military facilities. Instead of calling for a specific national ID card, which the authors believe would be too easy to manipulate, they support a variety of measures to make current ID cards more secure. Among them:
