I'll let Roger, if he wishes, comment on your comments, BRD. But re this 
one, it's not true. I don't even know my blood type or DNA or etc etc etc. 
I certainly don't have a digital image in my wallet! So, no, it's not the 
same. And the value of the article is to connect the dots about a new 
technology that's being introduced that may as you say have similar 
problems to current status, but is that any reason to continue to 
exacerbate the situation? I don't think so. And the public needs to know this.
