"GAITHERSBURG, Md. — As part of the Bush administration's effort to tighten security at federal facilities, millions of federal employees and contractors will later this year start receiving ID badges with chips storing information such as digital fingerprints (search).

The "smart card" (search) IDs will have security features designed to keep outsiders from breaking into federal buildings or computer systems.

But some computer security experts say the new standard was rushed through a six-month-long development process after President Bush issued a smart card directive last year."


First ID CARDS then microchips UNDER THE SKIN..

costs will be huge..all in name of security..


Not one terrsit caught for 9/11 crimes..
