I keep saying this in this thread, but the UK don't understand how much they're setting society back by being, for the most part, against the ID card scheme.
It's not really about my enthusiasm for forcing someone to carry around a piece of plastic, technologically we're way ahead of that now anyways. But giving each citizen a separate number in a central database can be the foundation for a lot of improvements in civil society. Sure, one can imagine ways it could be abused, but as with the case above, the current conventions sure as hell can be abused.
