I got my card already and it wasnt that hard. I pre enrolled over the phone and then set an appt to register. I was only in the office for 15 minutes and everything was done. I think the numbers of people who have started the process are low because from talk i've heard people just arent bothering with it and think its stupid and not important for them to get this card. All I know is I got my card because I didnt want to not have it and not be allowed to work. Who knows when its gonna be put and place and required to show to be able to get on the docks and work but I got mine just in case cause better safe than sorry. The 132.50 fee is not even a days pay

Can anyone tell me the web site to get this card startd on?

I agree, it isn't hard to get but how many background checks do you need before they are all happy. I currently have about three other checks for the company I work for. It is all a money game. If it were just for security, we would only need one, the TWIK card would fulfill all their needs.

I have enrolled on Feb,4 and still have not received it. Have called every week just to be put on hold for greater than 30 min. so i could be put on hold again and still nothing!

Are some of you blind? It's another gov fee. The no new tax republicans are robbing the working man blind. Want to keep your haz mat endorsment, another $100 bucks. Are you blind or just stupid? These people are no new taxes for the rich, just more fees for the working man. Wake up.

What is the site where you can enroll online.
I can't locate the website. I need a twik card for my job.

Brown and Cameron clash over ID
http://tinyurl.com/2gubb4 4 July 2007
Gordon Brown and David Cameron have clashed over plans to introduce identity cards in their first prime minister's questions encounter.
Mr Cameron, whose Conservatives oppose the cards, said they would "cause more problems than they solve" and had not stopped terror attacks abroad.
But Mr Brown, who raised the issue, said they were needed as they were "complementary" to other policies.
He called on all political parties to show "unity in the face of terror".

GOP star to get chip implant
Tommy Thompson signs up with VeriChip
July 22, 2005 / http://tinyurl.com/d3adl
Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson has volunteered to get an RFID electronic chip implant to show the world just how safe the new technology is.

The former secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services in President Bush's first term sees it as a potentially life-saving move because the chip will have details of his medical history should he ever be in an accident.
Thompson will be among the first humans to get the chip. Pets have been routinely chipped at pounds and veterinarians' offices in recent years. http://www.spychips.com
Thompson, who recently joined the board of directors of VeriChip, said he believed the technology was an important and secure means of accessing medical records and other information.
Thompson sees the chip as extremely useful for doctors requiring personal information that will help medical professionals and others provide emergency treatment.
The chips contain a 16-digit identification code that can be scanned at hospitals and then linked to a database that contains users' medical data.
Thompson said he will receive the implant when more hospitals have the scanning technology, which could be "as soon as six months to a year."

But there is another reason I won't be voting for Tommy Thompson: He wants us all to be "chipped" with Radio Frequency Identification and sits on the board of the VeriChip Corp., a company currently talking to the Pentagon about inserting the grain-sized microchip into American citizens, beginning with our soldiers.
