"The U.S. defense department has ordered chip-based ID cards for 4.3 
million military
  personnel over the next 18 months to tighten security on access to 
buildings, including the
  Pentagon (news - web sites), and to computer networks, including 
access to encrypted
  e-mail and online transactions."

...

``This is extremely important, not only to us, but to the whole smart 
card industry. It's the
  biggest Java-based smart card order yet,'' ActivCard Senior Vice 
President Tom Arthur told
  Reuters at annual chip card congress Cartes 2001.'
