Date: Tue, 19 Jul 94 11:26:09 EDT From: Carl Ellison <cme@tis.com> It strikes me as anachronistic to worry about national ID numbers for privacy reasons. With data processing of the 1950's . . . None of this requires a national ID card. But, nothing prevents you from acting on an individual level to make this the info gatherers job more difficult. There is plenty of reason to believe that effective strategies exist for keeping such data bases inaccurate. When such things have the force of law behind them, they are more worrisome. Making the info gatherers job more difficult is potentially a harder task and even attempting to inject bogus data could be criminally penalized. Rick
