Hmmm... Obviously there
can be a disagreement since there are a number of us here who disagree.
Also, showing that ID theft is not an issue is obviously
not the only argument against a NID program. Hypothetically, if I could prove that the government was planning on using such a device to track people who oppose whatever party is in power, I think most would agree that that would be a valid argument against such a system.
Again, like anything else, it's a question of the weighing of the benefits vs. the liabilities. And know one knows for sure how effective the benefits will be and how bad the abuses may be. We are all only guessing.
Like tw, I can say one thing. I have seen nothing here to change my opinion, either.
