GOF 2.4 Sarah Baase stresses the issue of a national identification system. The potential national ID card would contain a smart-card memory that can retain information such as the person's name, photo, Social Security number, other identifying information, and health, tax, financial, citizenship, employment, or other data. The ID system could be used to help catch criminals and terrorists. Personal health and medical information is then at risk, because the smart cards could then provide unwanted guests with this personal medical information. Pharmacists are worried that they might not be able to give prescription medicines to family members or friends. Everyone's information would then be stored on databases. What if that database has to be hacked into or had a virus that deleted important information?
