Declan,
we already have a national ID card: a passport.
Knowing that some government (or forger) has attached some name to a
picture that looks like the person holding the card gives you some
information about that person, with a non-0 probability. But, is it
the information you want?
At least some of the 9/11 hijackers had passports.
