National Security

Nowadays , not just high tech phones or priceless jewelries can be stolen , but also someone 's whole identity . Identity thefts have been becoming more popular and one solution to this problem would be the implementation of a National ID

From the day a baby is born , ID 's have been used in the form of tag names until the day someone dies , an ID will still be used , carved on the gravestone . Everybody

uses these small plastic cards , in school , at work , even in death . So why are there skeptics against this design ? In every decision someone makes , there 's inevitable a tradeoff and the use of a National ID is no exemption

The system will take a little bit of freedom from all , the right of anonymity for a more secured nation ADDIN EN .CITE Dershowitz3Alan M DershowitzWhy Fear National ID Cards ?The New York Times2001October 13http /query .nytim es .com /gst /fullpage .html ?res 9800E2D6123FF930A25753C1A9679C8B63 (Dershowitz . Take into account the September 11 bombing thousands of people died and billions worth of properties laid into ashes , the whole world was trembled with the news . How did a group of terrorist manage to sneak right under the noses of the CIA and FBI ? These agencies used complex systems to track down terrorist , but apparently , that was not enough to stop terror from striking in U .S . soil

A national ID will reduce this possibility of another 9 /11 . It will be more difficult to forge an ID , get inside the country , and plan another attack without being detected . That is the assurance that a people still shaken by 9 /11 will need before they board on another airplane or sleep without being troubled at night

A national ID may also be used in criminal investigations regarding the identification of an unknown body and the crack down for a suspect still at large . These are only a few of the possibilities of a national ID Once it is implemented , more of its uses will surface
