The card can automatically be renewed every 10 years so as long as your data is current. Your Advance Passenger Information is stored as well on this card for security and its linked to the TSA, INS etc. No more adding pages in your passport. This card has your photo on it and would be accepted by all government offices etc.
If you want to link your Primary Credit Card and a Secondary one you can do this as well. To pay for a purchase simply enter the 4 digit pin and put your thumb on the machine etc.

You could even use this account to answer the Customs Declaration Form from any kiosk in the airport at customs. This side of the card should be subsidized by the government as part of the fee to register your State ID/License/Passports. An additional $10 fee is added instead of the CLEAR program. You would be interviewed by a DMV official to -for the program and it will take about 1 week for the application to clear. Any traveler who wants to be part of this can join as long as they meet the security rules.
So every country in the entire world is going to toss out existing immigration rules in favor of frequent flier cards? And while we're at in all credit cards and going to consolidate in to frequent flier cards as well?
Neat.
