I want an ID card - but one that I own & control.
I want to combine the various cards that I have onto one.
I want to be able to plug my card into MY PC & view what is on the card,
add/remove functions.
I want to be able to audit every transaction that my card has made.
I want to be able to control what information my card gives out & to who it gives it.

I don't want one given to me by our totalitarian minded government that I have no
control over.
