Of course, I work in data security, and we're trying to help people avoid a plethora of different security tokens by letting them link the same one to multiple website accounts (say, internet banking, WoW and Amazon). Our software wouldn't track anyone, though - it's something other sites would link to, check credentials, then authorise the person.
But hey, maybe your government IS doing something incredibly dodgy. *shrug*

It is your fault. At some time in the future you'll find yourself back before you thought of this scheme selling out humanity for a better self future tomorrow. Clear?
So lets say the problem is users using simple passwords. If you make them use complex passwords they just write it down somewhere. Next you try card swip/prox cards. No good, the cards are lost or borrowed. Combo of password and card? Same as before. Biometric? How many computers do you have to logon to? I have a lot of them.
RFID implants may be the easiest. But I sure do hope no one wants to cut it out of me to access the computers I work with.
And the computers will the have to comply with NSTISSAM TEMPEST/1-92 or whatever they use today.
