Has it occured to you that the exact same set of crooks will be manning a few of those readers. Where required - most of them will be unmanned. The supervisors, in such cases, besides the corrupt officials, now also include private parties over whom you have zero control (banking correspondents). The micro finance mess is a good place to get some more education. Since such things miss your cognition completely, I will add that those officials are the ones who go blind, deaf, dumb and amnesic for a fistful of coins. Incase the inversion still eludes you, you dont chain everbody to protect them from the crooks. You throw the crooks in jail. The amounts of money in petty corruption on the last mile, is dwarfed by several orders of magnitude by corruption higher up the disbursement chain. This happens because the power heirachy is set to keep control at the top, with a miniscule minority and is the root cause of corruption. ID schemes like the UID reinforce this structure and add additional dangerous elements for tracking and collecting infomation illicitly. The Mumbai police have been involved in illegal surveillance and extortion. Such tactics were (and are) used during the emergency to target political opponents. The innocence is touching. -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
