Obama Eyeing Internet ID for Americans

How well is THIS going to fly?

"President Obama is planning to hand the U.S. Commerce Department authority over a forthcoming cybersecurity effort to create an Internet ID for Americans, a White House official said here today.

It's "the absolute perfect spot in the U.S. government" to centralize efforts toward creating an "identity ecosystem" for the Internet, White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt said. "

What happened to all the hollering about "big brother" from the 60s crowd???

And this: "The Commerce Department will be setting up a national program office to work on this project, Locke said. "

JUST what we need, a new NATIONAL PROGRAM OFFICE.

Let me start by saying that I am 61 years young, so according to the younger crowd, I guess I don't know of what I speak.
I have tried to talk with some folks about the government slowly taking over the internet, let alone our indivigual rights, but they look at me like I am some 60's nut job.
