[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 117088, member: 175057"] I can understand why they want to do something better than what is available elsewhere and why not, if it carries more information, in a properly encrypted way, then it can properly validate someone's identity. Your middle paragraph is specious, our card will only be unique in the range of information contained, not in the card itself, how many holidaying Italians, Poles or Czechs are today stopped by the old bill, are they suddenly going to blitz every "foreign" looking person, of course they are not, just another red herring. The cost factor is also speculative and something nobody really knows for sure, many of the objections are not about cost anyway, they are about so called civil liberties and it really dismays me that anyone arguing the advantages of an identity card is portrayed as a hardline authoritarian or even fascist.
