Being able to check who I'm making deals with - maybe my life is missing something, but I've not had to do that yet.
Id theft - here in UK we've already had instances of criminals getting work in the civil service and flogging off National Insurance numbers. Now we're going to set up another database. Were I an intelligent criminal, I'd be looking to suborn civil servants to get access to the data or to set up bogus ids.
Trusting government - Hmm, as I understand it, the German system is a little less adventurous (i.e., more sensible) than the UK proposals. I don't have a problem with name & address data being held by govt., but if they're going to hold more data on my id card then I want to know what info they have, and be able to challenge and correct it when necessary
