Good video on Russian Navy, though I disagree on some points.

Apparently we are getting the new IDs, which can take form of an app on your smartphone.

ikalugin, I’m very terrified of that - I hope there would be an option to reject electronic ID. Even without it there are news on mail.ru of private property ( flats mostly) being stolen from common people by fraudery with electronic signatures. And electronic signature has less importancy than passport.

Fraud was always common, so the question is how much easier/harder it is to commit fraud when compared to old methods. The other trade off is between ease of use and security, ideally there should be several settings I guess, for the individual to decide.

We have what used to be known as The People's Access Security Service Card (PASS), issued to U.S. citizens only. Probably sounded to Stalinist or 1984-ish so they changed the name to United States Passport Card. It's a National ID card used for domestic travel and between Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative member states. (emphasis mine)
For international travel a paper passport is still issued but nowadays it has a bio-metrics chip embedded in it which probably contains everything your new ID card will have. There is also an option to download a mobile app, its designed for a traveller to answer all the questions normally asked at the border to help cut down on processing time. But it doesn't replace the Passport or Passport card. The way I see it, paper, plastic or mobile app I dont think it matters really. It's all in place just to keep the honest people honest. Criminals can always find a weakness and a way in. |

The 666 number as described in the Book of Revelations (last chapter of the New Testament) is gaining on us. Which I believe will become mandatory after a major earthquake or nuclear confrontation with another nuclear power to prove that you are a US citizen and therefore entitled to health care benefits.

We have two passports:
- internal - external Former is a mandatory ID you need, for, well, everything. It is, ofc, free of charge, as asking payment for a state issued mandatory ID is silly. The new system would replace said internal passport. As you may guess we are not paranoid about state issued IDs the same way americans are and yes, you need one to vote.

Is it mandatory to vote in Russia?
Quite honestly if it isn't I don't see the point in bothering.

As to bothering, well ironically that is one of the reasons why Putin gets the votes - some of the opposition got demoralised and did not vote against him. Locally the current establishment did not do as well as they would like.

With the right rfid chip or nfc installed, the presence of said card can be sensed and identified everywhere.
So it is not only good for voting, but so to speak a private "Gestapo to carry along". Nations' governments like to know where everyone is, or does. But don't smirk, London is much much worse

unlike most I guess, I see it simply as using existing technology. No different than when cameras invented and they started placing your picture on the ID card. Can it be abused, yes. I just to follow my banking institution's security recommendation, apply some common sense and exsisting tech to protect my accounts and personal information. |
