Tracking Identity … Cradle to Grave

It is only a matter of time before this is going on almost
everywhere.  It seems today that most of our government tracked
actions are recorded … but in many different and separate
databases.  This appears to be an effort for the Dutch citizens to
see a unification of their identity information for a variety of
sociological benefits.  Yes … I know that many people are
cringing at this.  To me it only makes sense that it’s going ot
occur … it’s inevitable.

Dutch Treat: Personal Database.
Starting in 2007, every baby born in the Netherlands will receive a
Citizens Service Number and will have an electronic dossier opened in a
central database. This will allow Dutch authorities to track each
citizen from cradle to grave. [Wired News]
