Seems strikingly similar the US Real ID Act. The question simply becomes one of, do we truly need a card to identify ourselves to any government or private agency? Currently many places require multiple proofs, so how hard is it to fake/corrupt a singular one? Honestly how is a chip going to protect from someone stealing your card and using before you can alert authorities? Are they PIN protected?
