National Identification Card Won’t Work
The debate on National Identification card has restarted since the terrorists attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. The issue of introducing the National Identification Card came into people’s view after a long time hoping that it would reduce the danger of terrorism in the future. United States is not the only one country who is introducing the National Identification Card. There are other hundreds of countries that have already had National Identification Card in use in order to improve security in the country, assist law enforcement and make a delivery of services more efficiently to all the citizens of the nation. People think that introducing the National ID

Introduced new license could alert the authorities about each and every action of the suspected terrorist.
But the National Identification card will have some biometrics data like finger print, retinal Scan, iris scanning which people thinks that it would be hard to forge. "Using biometrics data such as fingerprints and retina scan can help in verifying that the card actually belongs to the cardholder"(Clement). More likely people are thinking about introducing the "smart card" which when swiped will show all the information like where you are and what you are doing while smart cards are among the most secure technologies available.
National ID card could combine the functions of a driver’s license, social security registration, immigration documents, and other government issued identification so that it would be easier to carry just one card instead of all these form of identification. Once the card is issued then every individual is required to carry and present an officially issued ID card when asked, and it would also be required to get particular services. If the card cannot be presented on demand then that person would be regarded with suspension. If the person who forgot or lost the card falls under the minority group then the person becomes a suspect and might get some kind of charges or might even go to jail.
"National security is good but not at the cost of personal freedom" (Dye). Demanding ID card at any time will be considered as the freedom
Identification is the means through which a user is associated with and gains access to an account. The most common form of identification in use with computer systems is through the use of a username. Other systems use Common Access Cards (CAC), smart cards, or tokens combined with a pin code that allow for access to a system. More complex, high security systems might use some form of biometric to associate a user with an account and permission set. Biometrics include: fingerprint, iris scan, facial scan etc.. something that is unique to the particular person that cannot be easily altered. Identification allows for the tracking
Why? Because of the strong impact it has on the outcome of the election and the number of votes registered. According to Lauren Justice, Latino’s especially were less likely to vote in ‘12 than in ‘08 because of their inability to get a hand of the identification (3). Thousands of people in the states have not been able to require all the necessary items they need in order to get an ID. Some states require an original birth certificate which isn’t always easy to get because of where it’s from. This may not be a problem to some, some like the republicans who set up these laws. Calling them ‘fair’, ‘necessary’, and ‘voter friendly’. The reason they set these rules up is to keep Democrats from stealing elections. How would they do it? Based on numerous studies and surveys, election fraud has been found to be rare, and the in-person fraud that the laws could prevent is virtually absent (Justice 2). Not only is this absurd, but these laws makes it even more difficult for people. If by any means they are not able to get an ID, states like Texas and Wisconsin may let them take an oath. An oath that lets those without an approved ID vote after signing it, only after stating that they cannot “reasonably” obtain one. What about the others who weren’t able to ‘reasonably’ obtain one? What about all the others who can’t take the oath? How can this be fixed? What the states need to do in order for these problems to be fixed is to get rid of the strictness these laws have on the voting. If they do, then more people are willing to vote and can impact the election greatly. If this were to happen, maybe Donald Trump would have not become president and more votes would have
Voter identification laws jeopardize the validity of our elections and create a climate in which people are disincentivized to vote. Voter identification laws aim to solve a problem that frankly does not exist. The main reason for their implementation is supposedly that they help in stopping the ‘widespread’ voter fraud in our American elections. However, voter fraud is such a miniscule problem that it can basically be overlooked, especially because of the electoral system works for the elections. According to Source D, researchers at Loyola Law School have found that "out of the one billion votes cast between 2000 and 2014, there were just 31 cases of voter fraud.
“Hope… Sometimes that’s all you have when you have nothing else. If you have it. You have everything .” In The Road by Cormac McCarthy a recurring theme in the story is gaining or losing hope. Throughout this story there are numerous instances and events that occur in which all seems lost at a dead end, but in those moment hope carries through and thrives. In this dystopian post apocalyptic world the man and boy are fighting to stay alive while keeping their humanity as well as searching for what humanity is left in this kill or be killed cannibalistic planet. As their time journeying down the road increases so do the dangers and obstacles they face to survive. The more they overcome the more hope thrives in them showing that in even in the most catastrophic events having hope helps them get closer to finding the light at the end of the tunnel and not being consumed by the darkness.
The necessity or redundancy of voter photo identification is a prominent topic in the news as the presidential election approaches. Multiple states in America require proper photo identification in order to vote, but not all agree with these laws. “Why New Photo ID Laws Mean Some Won't Vote” by PBS argues that photo identification laws prevent millions of Americans from voting due to the often difficult process of obtaining one. “Voter ID Should Be Required for Voting” by Chris Freind supports the opposite view, believing that photo identification laws ensure only American citizens are allowed to
One of the major changes that have effected most people is in the airports. There are several new procedures one must go through to take a flight these days. First, when you arrive at the airport you are required to have a government issued identification card at the counter rather than any old identification card. Then, after you receive your boarding pass you must
So instead of jousting over the voter ID laws, should we come up with state of the art ways, so that citizens can get free ID’s, and ways for those that can’t do it themselves to possibly have a mobile service, so that all voters have an equal voting ground. A 2012 study, by Pew Center on the states, found that 2.8 million voters had
This allows for illegal immigrants with fake identifications to pass off their cards as driver’s license at the airport and another other place, which creates a major security gap. Advocates for illegal immigrants have opposed parts of the law that require “noncompliant” cards for undocumented workers to look different than licenses for U.S. citizens and legal residents according to Jeunesse. For example, in Colorado, the distinguishing feature for the identification card is a small black band. In D.C., there is a small star in the corner that distinguishes their identification cards. Currently, there are
The need to protect National Security is far more important than individual privacy. The greatest part of living in the United States of America is the freedom that we have. That freedom and the right to live freely is protected by various government agencies. From time to time, the privacy a person has may have to be invaded to guarantee the security of the country and other citizens. Everyone has the right to not have their life controlled by the government, but it has the right to make sure that citizens are not doing anything to threaten the security of
Voter ID laws in the United States have begun to create controversy since the beginning of its adaptations in the early 2000’s. Voter ID laws in the United States is a law that requires U.S. citizens to have a special form of identification in order to vote in an election. The idea with Voter ID laws is that the state must make sure that the laws do not pose any sort of burden on the voters. These laws have been proposed in order to stop voting fraud. However, the institution of Voter ID laws have made trouble in states, including Texas, regarding to the various amount of identification requirements needed.
The Call of The wild was my favorite reading assignment because it had a lot of story in it and we took a lot of time to read it. I also like it because we got to watch the movie and see how different the book is from the movie was. The Call of The Wild is a novella which is a short ,but good story with a plot, setting,conflict,climax, and a really good end.
As one can see, personal freedom is an incredibly important part to our modern day society.
The government is actively involved in decreasing the amount of identity theft by providing the most effective tools to investigate and prosecute identity thieves. One of these tools is the Identity
Biometrics are important to not only information systems, but to information security as a subject. Today, most information is kept secure via ID cards or secret information, such as a PIN, password, pattern, etc., the downside to this type of security is the lack of a failsafe (Ashok, Shivashankar and Mudiraj)! What would happen if an ID card was lost? Or a PIN, password or pattern was leaked to individuals who were not on a “need to know” basis”? This is where the importance of biometrics comes into play.
