Administration are well-equipped with readers I think I've seen the same in police stations in Finland... some kiosk PCs with a card reader and access to the various forms you might want to file there. Can be used to skip the line when applying for a driver's license, gun permit, or something like that. IMO, the couple of times you might do that in a decade are not quite worth buying and carrying the electronic ID.

> IMO, the couple of times you might do that in a decade are not quite worth buying and carrying the electronic ID. I think this hilights the main issue with Finlands ID card experiment. Many places accept drivers license (which many people have) as a sort of semi-official ID. So most people had no need to get another card for ID, especially when it costs money and expired relatively quickly.
