The earlier comment about needing 3 forms of ID (including pictoral) reminds me of a little news article from some years back.

Person had a very special Govt photo ID, signed by the Prime Minister of the day, but as that was not on the lackey's list of permissible IDs he was asked to show his driver's licence. In those day's drivers icences did not have photos!! When the licence was produced the lackey was happy & the very important person who held one of a small handful of special IDs could go on his way.

Yes, I need a photo ID, but do I want an ID card that will be used by all govt agencies (just one number for all records in all depts, what a saving, only 1 number to remember!!) & other places & track me all over the place as was once proposed?
