Ok, so they have a card with your name on it, and your photo, just like a photo driving license.
If you're thinking access to your credit cards etc, even if they watched over your shoulder, they'd have to do so for several transactions to get your full pin number.
Add biometrics to the mix, such as what they have at Ben Gurin airport, and not only would they need your card and your pin, but also your hand.
Change the pin for a word and only ask for a few leters, and you're even less likely to have it broken.
Compare that with what people have today.
A wallet, with all those cards, which can easily be copied and used as there are no secure back end checks.
Are you saying you'd prefer what amounts to a single low security device (wallet full of low security cards) to protect your finances than one high security device?
Remember, I'm not talking about the proposed ID scheme, after all that thing will have more holes in it than swiss cheese, but a properly planned and executed ID card scheme.
