But you don't know they are legal or illegal residents. I chose those two states specifically - in the case of Chattisgarh, it is the government's claim that non-Indians are living and training the Maoists. > Just like other countries with national IDs handle this issue.

First of all, remember that the US SSN is neither a national ID nor is it compulsory. Secondly, I wouldn't quote the USA as a prime example of a country that respects or honours its citizens' or visitors' privacy expectations. I wouldn't use it as an example of a country that has a good control on public spending either. Binand -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
