"The travel initiative requirements will be rolled out in phases. The proposed implementation timeline is as follows:
December 31, 2006 – Passport required for all air and sea travel to or from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.
December 31, 2007 – Passport required for all land border crossings, as well as air and sea travel."
and...
"For land border crossings to Canada, other documents that we anticipate will be acceptable are NEXUS and FAST program cards."
Land travel doesn't kick in until 2008. Passports are $87 for two years, I think. NEXUS is about $80 for five years. FAST is NEXUS for truckers. This all feels like a big "Screw You!".
