Default Brits: ID cards

what do you think about this one?

apart from the uber fascism of it, is it too different to what we experience today?

so far this morning i've used my bank card to buy some stuff, my student ID to get into the library, logged onto this PC and no doubt will log onto the one at home tonight etc....

it may all not be connected but looking at the span of a coupla hours, the bank and university know my movements, what kinda subway sandwich i like, what books I'm looking up in the library, what bands I like and the list goes on.

All it's going to do is makeit more efficient for the respective folk to get the info they're after and if you don't think the police or government can find this out already then you're kinda naive.

so i'm thinking maybe it;s not such a bad idea in that it won't be a huge divergence from what we're used to albeit it covertly.

what say you?
