Hehe, someone mention George Orwell? If it truly has increased security against identity theft, then no complaints here. And, as long as the photos look better...I've yet to see a good passport/drivers license/health card photo, lol. Vanity always prevails.

they already have the fake ones made for the new health card and driver licence's already and let me tell you the damn things are almost perfect replica's even have the information on it when swiped on a card reader. the feds need to work with the damn crooks to get these things better. btw the second picture is a joke so is the outlined and laminated original pic.

the point is not to create a non-forgeable card, its to centralize data collection.... its to make sure you are more traceable.

they'd probably like to like all your tax and income information too...

i like the way that city TV article neglects to mention the breach of personal security, but mentions the set-back to cross-border business...

damn you Moses Znaimer!
