Looks like we're gonna get the national ID card after all.

Nice FAQ here:

I guess the MD Motor Vehicle Admin will have to increase it's fees once again to implement the law.

I wish they'd just tattoo it on my wrist and be done with it. And while you're at it, make it work like a credit card too please.

might as well insert microchips in all of us so they can track our every move

Your driver's license is basically an id card, so I don't see what the big deal is. Most European nations already have them. I wonder will this take away the individual state design, or will it be one national design.

If you've never had an id before though how can you get one if you have to show an id?

I already have one. It's called my passport.
