- RoryH 13y agoExactly what I was thinking, I can't believe the populace is not choking on this concept!

- cruise02 13y agoNow is a great time to make this announcement. Everyone's trust in the US government has never been higher!

- superuser2 13y agoAlso the same US Gov whose identifiers are routinely required to fly, interact with banks and insurance companies, have a job, pay your federal taxes, etc. If they were to mandate use of this system for, say, forum comments, I'd be worried. All they're proposing is a more secure and efficient way to identify yourself in situations where you already need to use a real identity.
