Just imagine, whenever you buy something, your new National ID Card inside your drivers license will tell computer networks exactly where you are located at that moment.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?

Actually with a biometric card they could easily require it with all transactions the government could abolish cash on grounds that its "untraceable" and aids criminals. And require that all your personal transactions go with your own personal biometric card. Im not religious but Ill quote revealation to my friend BR here who is( to increase his zeal to oppose this) "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

The discounts with these cards are minor at best, sometimes non-existent. Kroger uses most of it's card "discount" on meat, check the prices against non card stores and you will find little or no difference
