I was digging through the NIPC report and found an article that was really interesting. I know a lot of individuals would shy away from a nationalized ID system, but how about an idea proposed by the National Electronic Commerce Coordinating Council? It proposes a "confederated" system in which Americans could use multiple identifiers for clusters of agencies and/or businesses. "That advantage of this system over a national ID system is that no single identifier would follow an individual everywhere."
