The Interior ministry is what is called in the gemara a "shor muad" as far as their inability to safeguard their databases and our private data as long as I have the choice I would not trust them and when they try to force it I would definitely join whatever lawsuit to the highest court. In that sense I am very happy my ID still lacks an expiry date so it will be harder for them to force me to replace it.... Regards, Eliyahu - אליהו
