Default Re: Scanning Your TV ID card.

I kind of agree with Beady -- showing an ID is one thing, having it scanned is another. I really can't see the need and it does smack of Big Brotherhood.

That being said, I resigned myself long before moving to TV that my privacy was long gone, so another scan of my ID is pretty irrelevant. Unless I always pay cash, my shopping habits are known. The government always knows where to find me so long as I use anything that records my social security number. And so on and so forth. At least the scanning is innocuous.
