Hmm, in 40 years, you're saying that you'd bet that every citizen will be required to carry ID on them at all times, even if they're traveling on foot, on private property? Or that every citizen will be required to carry something that lets them be identified without their knowledge? Either way, I think I'd be willing to take that bet. Especially with Republicans in power, who I think are *less* likely than Democrats to want to promote anything like a mandatory national ID.
