Reply #2: I am still conflicted over this [View All]

I have a SSN card that was required before I could work. The Federal Government holds this information.
I have a drivers license that was required before I could drive. My State Government holds this information.
I have numerous credit cards that required me to provide more information about myself than I was comfortable with. Private corporations hold this information.
I also have numerous identity issues spread all over the web.
Is this already enough to compromise my privacy?
How will it affect me to have a National Identification Card?
Could such a card be a step toward consolidating my personal information into a more controllable data base?
Controlled by who?
Would I be safer as I travel the world knowing such identity assurance was in place?
How easy will it be to scam the system and produce counterfeit identifications?
