    That’s the thing. At this point, anything that could replace ssn cards will be much more technical and much more invasive.

      No, it would be less technical since it would cut down the number of cards you have to carry around, and be less invasive since it would drastically raise the difficulty of identity theft

        They voluntarily put webcams in their houses with several known security issues which transmit everything open in the cloud. And they purposefully have a listening device which transmits to Amazon whatever they talk about in order to be able to listen to music without having to use a mouse or tap on a screen.

        But having an ID with a photo on it? That’s where they put the line

      Does it even matter when data brokers already know everything about you and happily sell that info?

      People freak about national IDs while happily giving all their info to websites like amazon or facebook. It’s insane.
