I won't even respond to those commenters who are for the National ID cards; I'm not so confident that any sense at all could be talked into them. All I can say is that I need to move to New Hampshire ASAP.
Seems like the slashdot community is all in agreement on this one. But I have another approach to offer that I think everyone here can appreciate:
What if I'm in the middle of developing the next big thing (sliced bread, fire, the wheel, iPhone:-P)? Then I absolutely want to protect my privacy from others who would steal it and call it their own (especially the gov't). You're damn right I'd have something to hide, and it wouldn't have to mean that what I'm hiding is illegal.
