ID cards are a BAD idea.

No matter what technology is incorperated into the card it will still be abused.

Imagin having someone elses card adjusted to your photo / retinal scan / fingerprint..... not only would you pass yourself off as them, you wouldn't need any other ID.

Just like they are abused in the states. Ask any american teen if they own / use fake ID........

Besides, what ever happened to freedom? Am I only free if I conform to a set of restrictions??
OK, I understand there are allways restrictions in any society (no murdering people etc.) but to enforce everyone to carry identification is wrong in my opinion.
If I am stopped in the street by the Police, I expect them to have a reason to stop me, not me to provide proof of my identity!!
