I have absolutely no problem with the idea of id cards. I'm not in the least bit concerned if the government have a huge database with all it's citizens on it as long as I think I can trust our governmnet which I thank we can in this country.

The whole idea actually makes me safe, the only people I can see having a problem with it are the people who are up to no good anyway. So bring it on in my opinion.

I think the idea of an ID card is a great idea. There are of course lots of conspiracy theorists out there who reckon it'd be a bit like Big Brother but think of the advantages.

1 ID instead of many. (Potentially) online voting. easier movement of people around Europe and USA Canada and Australia

Since the President of your country is a close friend – a classmate actually – of our President, now I know where Her Excellency got the idea of national ID schemes. Actually, this scheme has advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is that I won’t carry lots of IDs whenever I need to go to the bank or encash a payment or other legal matters. One disadvantage is this will allow other people to have access on my personal accounts. Hacking is just anywhere. I guess if only the government would tell the WHYs of this scheme we won’t be left here thinking and fearful about what this will lead us.

Don't be ridiculous, we function on a national ID here in South Africa and it's not at all a control mechanism. I suppose it all depends what you mean by 'national ID' but I think that a lot of Americans aren't really sure on the details. It may be, though, that they'll never succeed simply because of the backlash of even thinking of something like this. I guess 1984 sure drove it's point home, and good for the author!

The implications for us as a free people are truly frightening. I hate to sound like a conspiracy 'nut' but what's next--implantable biometric chips? After all, that is the only sure way to know that you are who you say you are!
