Threat of National ID by William Safire

In his article on Threat of National ID, William Safire presents his case against a national system of identification cards. Safire (2001) is critical of the government move to have all Americans carry their national ID as an attempt for infringing on the rights of Americans. He argues that this would be intrusion into the privacy of most Americans and they stand to lose rather than gain from the government scheme.

In this article that was published in New York Time, Safire (2001) compared nation ID cards to a new device that has been developed to assist dog pet owners to track a lost pet.
