The US, and their constant need to police the world, have unveiled a plan to make the Internet more secure.

Their plan is similar to technology banks already use.  Essentially each citizen would get an Internet ID card to prove who they are before going through with a transaction.  Banks, credit cards, already use various degress of this technology…digital fingerprints, cryptic picture/word verifications, and so on.  The reason all companies have not vested themselves in as deep of technology is costs and their perception of its need for their industry.

So why so much concern over the US Federal government wanting to make this technology standard?  Because Big Brother would administer and track these ID cards and systems using said cards.  They say it’d keep citizens safe and make processes uniform.   Yea…and national health care and its database from hell is to make sure we’re a healthier people.

Our only solace…they have not started developing this…yet.
