It's a universal, nation-wide ID card that they want to use in the US. You'll need one to fly, enter state buildings, stuff like that.

Supposedly our driver's licenses aren't good enough, so everyone gets a new card (in addition to the driver's) enhanced with rfid.
The Department of Homeland Security (another agency that needs to be revamped or dissolved) has basically told states that if they don't accept it, they'll lose federal funding.

ah yeah. I remember that now.
