I saw this on our local news last night and initially I was thinking ICE (Immigrations & Customs Enforcement) as you were. As I listened, I learned it stood for "In Case (of) Emergency" and they provided some quick background on it.
It sounds like it has the potential to catch on around the world with enough media support. As for the OP who got it by email, I'm not a fan of chain letters which ask to be sent on to others via E-mail, but this one is of substance and should be shared, IMHO.
While on the topic of travel & security, for those who travel internationally we should be aware the emergency #, the equivalent of 911 here in the states, varies depending on where you go - In the United Kingdom it's 999, in other nations it's 000, etc. It's always good to know what the emergency # is before one goes abroad.
