What does anyone think of THIS?

[Ian Williams]

Real ID Wiki

It's still supposedly a few years off, in 2011 sometime, and it's supposed to "streamline" our identification processes, but it just sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen to me. Aside from the obvious possible paranoia(of surveillance or whatever), how much easier would any sort of scapegoating or identity theft be when all your Identity checks stem back to one single rfid card?

I was wondering if anyone here had already been researching this at all?
