[clue-talk] national ID card

[erik at ezolan.com]

The argument I'm seeing on the "No national ID" side looks a lot like
"Security through obscurity", which I also disagree with.

Yes, by keeping a bunch of separate databases, it makes it more difficult
for the government to do anything.

Like correct inevitable mistakes, errors, or sabotage.

By keeping a unified database it forces the government to regulate and
take good care of it. Right now we have databases operating in the grey
area because we're not supposed to be having them, in principle.

This is actually *worse* than a national database.
