You can't get into any shipping port without one that one card alone cost 250 bucks for 3years<br /><br />The Transportation Worker Identification Credential (or TWIC) program is a Transportation Security Administration and U.S. Coast Guard initiative in the United States. The TWIC program provides a tamper-resistant biometric credential to maritime workers requiring unescorted access to secure areas of port facilities, outer continental shelf facilities, and vessels regulated under the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002, or MTSA, and all U.S. Coast Guard credentialed merchant mariners.[1] As of May 2014, there were 2,999,058 people enrolled in the program.[2] Those seeking unescorted access to secure areas aboard affected vessels, and all Coast Guard credentialed merchant mariners, must obtain a TWIC. The new measures were fully implemented on April 15, 2009.[3] To obtain a TWIC, an individual must provide biographic and biometric information such as fingerprints, sit for a digital photograph and successfully pass a security threat assessment conducted by TSA.<br /><br />The issued card (pictured right) contains a computer chip, known as an Integrated Circuit Chip (ICC), which stores the holder's information and biometric data. The chip can be read by inserting it into a reader or holding it near a "contactless" reader. There are also a magnetic strip (similar to a credit card) and a linear barcode on the back as alternative reading methods.[4]Mister edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293854096422236002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818111637898313184.post-40160474426597996802018-04-25T18:25:15.697-07:002018-04-25T18:25:15.697-07:00Beginning Jan. 22, 2018, travelers from nine state...Beginning Jan. 22, 2018, travelers from nine states will no longer be able to travel with only their driver’s licenses.<br /><br />Residents of Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Washington will have to use alternate ID forms (passport, military ID, or permanent resident card) to pass TSA security checkpoints—even for domestic travel.<br /><br />On Thursday, the TSA began placing signage around airport security checkpoints to inform travelers of the new TSA rules going into effect in 2018.<br /><br />The IDs from these nine states do not meet the federal government’s minimum security standards. And, according to the REAL ID Act of 2005, federal agencies (like the TSA) are prohibited from “accepting for certain purposes driver’s licenses and identification cards from states not meeting the Act’s minimum standards.”<br /><br />Also because it is long winded article<br />You could read what Arizona is doing<br />https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona/2017/01/04/tsa-begins-warning-travelers-non-compliant-drivers-licenses/96174994/<br /><br />And if you really want to scare the hell out of yourself read this article<br /><br />https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/10/rfid-tags-in-drivers-licenses-what-could-go-wrong/<br /><br />They were actually trying to create a law that would RFID chip any newborn in the hospital<br /><br />There are some high-tech companies that actually do ship their employees but on a voluntary basis the RFID chip goes between your thumb and your index finger<br />When you enter the building to work any door that you open monitors your time as a time card you can use it in the cafeteria for the vending machine because the chip is registered to you they subtract the amount out of your paycheck<br /><br />Sent from my iPadMister edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293854096422236002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818111637898313184.post-55065515069759949472018-04-25T15:42:19.657-07:002018-04-25T15:42:19.657-07:00Of course, you need that documentation to get a pa...Of course, you need that documentation to get a passport, too, but at least a passport is good for ten years.Linda Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734450335251336493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818111637898313184.post-71935642358184653932018-04-25T08:51:53.781-07:002018-04-25T08:51:53.781-07:00Now something about that just does not seem right....Now something about that just does not seem right.
