McNealy, Ellison, Dershowitz Call for National ID
Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems; Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle; and Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law Professor; have advocated the adoption of mandatory national ID for all Americans. McNealy and Ellison have economic interests in such systems. Dershowitz argues that the loss of anonymity caused by national ID systems could be balanced by corresponding gains in security.Well-meaning Congress putting liberties at risk, San Jose Mercury News, October 13, 2001.
