If some government agency is wanting to watch your every move, they will be able to find you the moment you use your drivers license for ID purposes.
I don't see the connection?
Exactly how would this work?
Are cards going to be required before the cashier will ring you up?
Is that like these new cards that supermarkets issue that grant shoppers steep discounts when we produce them for scanning prior to checkout?
What if you walk to the store?
No, they won't care. You and the other 15,000 people that passed by the antenna in that hour are effectively anonomous. It's to much data to deal with.
Now when a car goes by and no chip is registered.....guess who they'll pull over.
This should not be construed as me agreeing with the implementation of this nonsense, just your method of civil disobedience.
Let me suggest that everyone here get the new liscense and then each month you trade the liscense with another "protester".
Establish a "Napster" like server that matches people wanting to trade.
Now I know your thinking "identity theft" and your right unscruppulous persons will try to use your card for establishing a line of credit, bank account, etc.
But with the address on the chip all the paperwork will come to you and you should be able to nip it in the bud.
If they try to establish a new address at the local drivers liscense shop the fraud will be found due to non matching biometrics.
What I'm trying to do here is using the strengths of the card against it.
Flame away!
