I don't see the point of them, especially if only some people carry them...what are they for? Who will they protect?.......it seems to me that the government have changed their minds so many times about the benefits of them that no-one is sure anymore.
And as for the data they will contain.......do any of you find that the government forgets to levy income tax....or that you get away scott free with not buying a TV licence.......No....now isn't that a surprise....perhaps it is because they know where all of us can be found.......and before long criminals will be cloning them, and adding the appropriate biometric information.......then what? How will you prove you are the real you?
The government has enough information on each and every one of us........and if the scheme takes off then the honest folk will buy this piece of trash, but the dishonest ones will clone an honest persons card to hide their criminal activity.
Freedom...what Freedom??????
