What I really want to comment on is the bogus argument being made in this thread. There is a huge difference between a national ID card, and having cameras filming you and your loved ones in the flesh, going to the bathroom, engaging in romantic activities, etc. It's absurd to compare the two. Having an ID card is one thing... having a room full of government employees watching me and my wife engage in reproductive activities is an entirely different thing.

I don't get it. You are not required to parade with a huge placard showing your SSN.

are you familiar with RFID technology? Its even worse than wearing a huge placard. At least if you have a placard, you could tell who was looking at your info. With RFID, someone could just casually walk by, and obtain a perfect copy of your i.d.
Let's just way I am more sensitive about information than your average bear. You don't have to agree, or understand.

I find the OP farcical. Look, the driver license most people use, is a de facto national ID but it does have a few shortcomings. I really fail to see how a national ID card infringes on any of my rights, which I happen to value, by the way. If anything, it will help to crack down in illegal immigration and crime, which would be a good thing.

The author of the OP uses a logical fallacy by resorting to Reductio ar Absurdum, namely suggesting planting CCTV cameras in the bathroom (reference to scatology) and in the bedroom (voyerism, anyone). Well, that's just that, a farce.

Indeed! I still wonder whether you find that your current driver license betrays a lot of private info.

The National ID card does not contain info on whether you like spicy food or how much you spend on booze every week. It's just that, an ID. Most countries have it (I've seen a few) and it's hardly an infringement of anything.
