Not liking this one so much, myself. How much info goes on that card? And who gets to see it? And how much restriction is there on what they can do with it? As the ancients asked, who watches the watchers?
And when does it go from "stopping the terrorists" to "keeping track of the (ethnic group of choice)?" Don't say it can't happen here. It can happen anywhere. All it takes is Someone to get scared enough.
