Re: Done correctly, not a stupid idea

I'll assume you also require online confirmation of the same basic facts using the unique key or some magic card type that can't be faked. It would also have to be illegal to record the unique key anywhere else to provide only basic ID checking.

I don't believe this level of use stands a snowball in hells chance of being anything more than a lie to gain initial acceptance, I'd expect the slimy inuendo 'if you've nothing to hide' BS to appear soon after.

ID cards are for enabling easy tracking of your life at best and instant direct control at worst.
