I just read a story in which the bad guy who was using a stolen credit card called the card owner's wife long distance from a motel and pretended to be taking a survey, and then sent her flowers bought with the card.
"Now, let's see him claim the card was stolen." was the bad guys comment.

In effect, most of the world has to carry ID cards already. In the states it would be hard to get by without a driver's license. In fact, some states issue ID cards just for the convenience of those who don't have a driver's license. In many cases, those programs were initiated in response to popular demand. I have no fear of having to prove my identity when necessary. It's a nice guarantee against someone else claiming to be me.
No it's not. All I need is a card with my photograph and your details. After that, I am effectively you. Want some debt??? 8-)

I guess it all depends on the upbringing, but between where I have been and my line of work, carrying an ID card is second nature.
Even in the USA you have ID cards issued by states that are just like their drivers license - they just state they are for ID purposes only...
I even have enough time to add to an OT post!
The day we have to carry ID cards is the day we become a police state.
