I just can't bring myself to think that National ID would not be abused, somehow, someway. Otherwise, I would think it would make sense; but not now.

I went round and round with the boss of the census office in Philly, this summer. He kept telling me his employees are sworn not to blab any information.
I kept telling him those people didn't worry me at all. What bothered me was information, once gathered, has a way of seeping through large government databases.
As an example of possibilities, I cited some ass at Boeing Corporate, losing a laptop containing unencrypted personal info, including SS numbers, bank account numbers (direct deposit), addresses, employment, etc.....on 191,000 employees.
