It gets you a fancy ID card that has all of your biometric data, including fingerprints, encoded on to an internal chip. All people involved in public transportation are now required to have one. Sounds like it gets the government a whole lot more than they need for people who take a few people sailing. I guess I could see it for a tanker or a ferry or something. I really wouldn't want all that info on a chip. |
