It appears that George Orwell may have been more in touch with the future than we all may have thought.  Who knew that the day would come when we would have to have our driver's license scanned just to buy some cough syrup?

The Tuscaloosa City Council committee agreed to endorse an ordinance that would require stores selling cold medicine to scan the driver's licenses of people who are buying medicines containing pseudoephedrine.

The Tuscaloosa City Council is expected to approve a law requiring the scanning of driver's licenses at it's next meeting.

What's next....Hey, you better show me some I.D. for those matches you're buying...you could set fire to something and we, the government need to know about it.

Unfortunately this is really just the beginning of a much larger problem.  Read up on the Real ID act and it's requirements and the burdens it places on the states.  Soon you will not be allowed to switch jobs, make certain purchases, etc... without your Microchip ID card.  And in true Orwellian fashion, next comes the implant and then paper money disappears.  There is actually a movement started urging people to reject these implants and a few states (unfortunately not mine) have refused to adopt the Real ID card.
