Identification cards already are required here for most persons to enter their workplace, take an airplane flight or go into a public building, including my campus library. The idea of a national ID, however, was knocked out of earlier drafts of legislation by a coalition of civil rights and ethnic groups, who opposed a requirement that all non-citizens carry identifying documents. In some degree, they have a point.

We must fact the fact—and benefit from realizing—that no one can drive, or fly, or enter many private and public buildings without a picture ID, usually a driver's license or passport. That means that practically all Americans already must have what in effect is a national ID card.

We already routinely screen people. If we would just make good use of the national ID cards we have—and improve them—we could enhance our safety, avoid discrimination and not spend millions on another system.
