~ ARE YOU RFID-READY, COMRADE?? Russia To Adopt Universal ID Card in 2012...!! ~

RFID in my Forhead, CHECK

So how INDEPTH AND POWERFUL is the tracking ability on this RFID ID they are talkin about? I want to know how much of a range this thing has in the current system that is the beast, meaning can ANY wireless internet pick up its signal?

these cards were already implemented in the US about 4 years ago, or something. I saw it on the news, and not every state conformed. Who knows if they still make/use them, but its called Real ID or some shit. Saw it on the news, right on schedule as stated in a documentary, except it was a few months early.

~ DA, TOVARISCH!! ;)

~ ARE YOU RFID-READY, COMRADE?? Russia To Adopt Universal ID Card in 2012...!! ~

~ From the article:

For all those conspiracy theorists out there, 2012 just got a little more ominous. As required by legislation passed this last summer, Russia will adopt a universal ID card starting next year. The Universal Electronic Card (UEC) is intended to eventually replace all local, regional, and national forms of ID, providing a central database through which Russians can access everything from medical insurance to ATMs. According to the official website, the UEC will be adopted by around 1000 national and regional services along with about 10,000 commercial enterprises. The mayor of Moscow has already declared it will be able to handle public transportation there, and we can expect similar adoptions throughout the nation. Will all Russians be carrying a single form of ID that is their only passport to all public and private services? Looks like it. A similar project has started in India, and there are experiments for related concepts in Mexico. Universal ID is starting to catch on around the globe. Where will it spread to next?

Ostensibly, the UEC is designed to push the Russian ID system into the 21st century. Not only is the card to provide a way for citizens to easily make electronic purchases (in person and online) it is supposed to cut down on fraud. While it doesn’t seem to include any biometrics, the card has other security measures. All information (whether for public or commercial use) will be stored in a database, not on the card. The UEC will have a number, a ‘passcode’, that points the user to the appropriate record in the database. It’s unclear what kind of readers (RF, magnetic strip, etc) will be able to access the UEC, but the site says that at least one (perhaps the only one ) will be contactless. For financial transactions users will be able to set predefined limits so that the card can only withdraw a restricted amount of funds over a period of time. Each use of the UEC will require the entry of a personal identification number, and get this, everyone will be granted a fake PIN as well! If someone is coercing you into using your UEC, then enter the fake PIN. Authorities will be notified surreptitiously while the transaction appears to be continuing regularly. I’m sure we can think of a dozen ways to get around that, but still, pretty cloak and dagger there, Russia.

everyone already got UNIVERSAL ID its SSN. keep going cowards

the only thing that worries me with such a system is WHAT IF your card is stolen and some HACKER Pro was able to scan your RFID imbedded chip in such a way that he could save that readout and information on HIS computer.

Then using the internet and its broadband system he could instantanouesly pinpoint that persons location (or card at least) by simply recalling the binary information that was scanned from the ID?

its a faulty system

but what do other countries have instead of ssn?

I actually want one of those!

Just looks like a streamlined way of doing what we already do, putting all your info on one scan-able card, as long as you can change what's on your card I see nothing wrong.
