It looks like the opposition to needing passports at the Canadian border is having results.

Faced with growing opposition to a proposal requiring people to show passports or other similar IDs, the Bush administration will propose new forms of identification next spring, Homeland Security spokesman Jarrod Agen said.

It’s unclear what kind of an ID might be used, but Agen said the government is looking for ways to make the new card easy to obtain and carry.

“We’ve heard and certainly recognize the concerns that folks don’t want this delaying them or creating problems along the border,” Agen said. via USA Today
