DHS website says you can still just use passports

There is a rfid chip in passports. I uhhh cracked one mine a long time ago and then kept getting red flagged by tsa for suspicious activity 😂😅

I figure it's pretty inevitable at this point, but also probably not as bad as many think. I don't like it, but I think it's part of the ever inevitable technological society ala Jacques Ellul

In a sense, yes, but you have to have an alternative way to identify yourself when accessing gov buildings, nuclear facilities, or flying commercially, this is on the list:

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration

Acceptable Identification at the TSA Checkpoint | Transportation Security Administration

The TSA Identification Requirements page outlines acceptable forms of ID for travelers at airport security checkpoints.

As you know They’ll tie every activity or purchase to it so you can’t survive without having one.
