Bullshit. The German electronic ID card wasn't a huge project and it was developed in-house. By all accounts, it works pretty well if you actually have the opportunity to use it. The problem is that nobody supports it. In part because

Its mortality rate puts an upper bound on how bad it is. Even if everyone would have been infected without any measures, saving at most ~1% of the population isn't worth stealing more than a year of everyone 's life. Those who
