We are going through the throes of infancy on the decision as to whether we ought to maybe think of considering to.....have cards here in the U.K.jewscout said:
The truth is that those who have nothing to fear from 'big brother' are the silent minority; I suspect that the ardent anti-ID mob are those who have skeletons in their closets. There has even been talk of having a secretly placed GPS box built into cars, for the benefit of insurance companies in the case of car theft.
The thought that a man who is having an illicit liaison with a lady in a neighbouring town can have his journeys monitored is enough to make him stand on a soap box and shout 'Civil Liberties, Human rights!!!'
Of course, there is that point to the problem...but that is the basic downfall of all applications - the theory is O.K; the application of the theory by humans is flawed. Take the example of the GPS box in cars - you might surmise that burglars who could tap into the signals would have an 'all clear' to go and rob the house where the car is normally parked. The sharing of information by various Governamental departments lays the whole scheme open to abuse. But that is the human element.jewscout said:

Some would say we in the US already have in the form of our Social Security number. Think how many places use it to identify us, and how often we hear about some kind of security breach related to sensitive information. The real scary part is the breaches we don't hear about.
As for the pizza place having all this infomation at their sauce ladles, back in 1989, I worked for a large national pizza delivery place, and we had a database full of names, phone numbers, addresses, and how well they tipped. It's not a stretch that they have a great deal more info now.

What is amusing about this 'publicly shared information' is that two humans have been 'created' by the innacuracies of computer opperators'.
There is now a 'Mr Michel' who lives in our house and a 'ms M.Hiero' as well. I am shortly going to order credit cards for these invisible familly members. No, of course I won't, but I am tempted.....

My reflexive reaction to anything the ACLU says is sceptic at best anyway, but I have to say that I don't think that a Pizza Place would really care what your voting record is or you family history. Besides, Big Brother already has your SSN (as was mentioned) and anything else they need they can get from your drivers license number.

There is already enough sensitive information out there for the taking. The last thing we need is a massive master database run by the stooges and scumbags we call our gov't. just waiting to be hacked.
