The id system should be strictly id based not history based. A person I know had once mentioned that after it was compulsory for army jawans to wear their name on their uniform, their behavior was more civilised. Thats the purpose of this CIS system. It will not help us detect a person's intentions but it will ensure that no faceless person simply goes about conning people or walks into a public place, plants a bomb and walks away or will keep changing ids after every crime. Knowledge of a person's id acts as a natural control over behavior.
Rony, i believe you were the one who preached about individual privacy, and didnt want to be captured on camera in GLUG meets? Think about the consequences when it will be easy for taporis to easily identify women for example?
Good question. Whenever I attend a GLUG meet (at least in HBSCE) my identity is registered at the security gate in its register. That is a security requirement so that a nameless person simply does not create a security hazard. Beyond that it is my individual privacy to not have my pic published on a website that contains the meet report.
I didn't understand the tapori part. Lets be clear on what exactly is the CIS. It is simply a centralised id card with extra biometric addons so that crooks cannot pull a fast one. We already have existing low level id cards that are used to identify ourselves at security gates. We give a copy of our passport to the mobile dealer, bank, etc...
Regards,
Rony.
