The below story mentions that the senate has passed (by tacking onto a military spending bill) an act requiring states issue an electronic ID cards & drivers licenses, likely to contain RFID chip, by 2008.
I personally think the US senate should NOT be allowed to pass ANY unrelated bills in one package, as Colorado’s standard procedure. If a bill is worthwhile should stand on its own merits.

Will this be the start of a ‘Brave New World’ where everyone has ID chips implanted?
Do people think this is worthwhile? Or is this a reactionist clamp down on our freedoms somehow?
