I just received on another list a release from the Electronic Future Foundation discussing the current status of the Clipper Chip as well as a discussion regarding national identity and health cards. I found the trends in this area very disturbing. If anyone is interested in seeing this release please let me know. It is 1000 lines long and I don't want to just post it.
