National Identity Cards to displace Citizenship Certificates

The front of a Spanish national identity cardImage via Wikipedia
More coming out world wide on the RFID tracker Identification Card. As people World Wide are being told they must do this and receive their chip cards. I see how it all goes into a computer system that relies on Energy to run? Let alone the hacker capabilities to this very system leave some major questions in my mind. I mean really are all the Governments running this world actually this stupid? Really?

The government is preparing to distribute National Identity Cards (NIC) with all official information of an individual stored digitally instead of the Citizenship Certificates, Nagarik daily reported.
The government has established a NIC Management Centre and deployed 26 employees to work on it this week.
The centre has said, it has already prepared the draft of NIC Act, worked out the structure card and the concept for its use.
The National Id card will be distributed to individuals of 16 years of age, first and then gradually be distributed to children in the second phase.
The card will have an individual’s personal information including name, date of birth, gender, place of birth, permanent address, current address, names of parents, name of spouse, fingerprint, signature, and photograph, among others.
Nepalese staying abroad will also get such identity cards

Video Surveillance deployed inside London Public Bathrooms

Three surveillance cameras on the corner of a ...Image via Wikipedia

You can imagine my surprise after I paid my 50pence to use the public bathroom, walked in and found myself staring at not just one but three ceiling mounted video surveillance cameras. I had to get real close to their enclosures to convince myself that I wasn't seeing things. Not only was it really there, but it was a Pan-Tilt-Zoom model with a microphone to top it off. Must get some great noises coming from there. It has also been reported that London officials are now installing cameras with speakers to allow them to talk as well as see and listen. Perhaps its just me, but I had absolutely no idea that this was legal anywhere, let alone in downtown London, UK. Sure I knew that London has more cameras per square mile than any other country on the planet, but in bathrooms?! How are they getting away with that one? It is appalling!

U.S. cities (like my hometown of Denver) have begun installing their own public video surveillance systems in a big way
