National ID Security
August 7th, 2009 by ComputerBob
For the past several years, countries around the world — including the U.K. and the U.S. — have worked on the idea of creating digital national ID cards to enhance their security.
Their premise is that national ID cards containing electronic data-bearing chips would prevent “bad guys” from getting into places where they shouldn’t be.
And prevent identity theft and fraud.
And make everyone safer.
At first, it might sound like it would be a good idea to use a national ID system.
But there’s a problem.
And it’s a big one.
