I'm not sure whether I am answering a question based upon some technical incite. Or am I answering a question based upon no comprehension of how even satellites had ID verificaton and protection over a generation ago and based upon no knowledge of how PGP works?

For someone who will only answer one point out of a 20-odd point post i don't htink your in any position to start looking down on me, i could be equally arrogant and say you have no knowledge of macropolitcal theory or human nature.

However this question was specifically answered in that other discussion entitled "A Nationa ID card". Where in that post if there confusion?

Once again i coudl say the same thing.

That post was (primary bit)

Attempts to counterfeit the card or to use a duplicate, as even in that satellite security system, causes immediate denial of verification AND notifies authorities immediately of those attempts. This security is absolutely necessary for ID protection and cannot exist in a system of many independent databases.

Encryption has never been my thing, explain to me how, if you can copy every last piece of data on a card perfectly, a database can tell the difference between them.

We don't know if it will work, therefore we should not develop a system that anyone can volunteer to use? I simply don't understand the reasoning since the reasoning is so common to MBA mentalities such as Robert Allen of AT&T to stifle innovation and to maintain the status quo.

Yes - we don't know if it'll work, but obviously conprimising our privicy so thoughly is a good risk ot take on the off chance that we might have a midly more effective way of stopping identity theft?
