Having the NG at airports is not such a bad thing, they need to be located somewhere and can be moved when the need arises.

As for travel cards, there's no need. Tracking individuals based on SS# or immigration numbers is all that we need but it will take years to integrate the different government's data bases to allow reliable and secure transfer of information. Right now there is a great ability to forge documents but that can change relatively quick.

The real issues are the size of the data bases and accessibility. Billions of records need to be 'online' 24-7-365. This country has to rethink and reengineer it's data bases and eliminate the possibilities of tampering.

This is a huge task but one that's not insurmountable.
