OT -- You are right, if a secure ID card is used in an obviously stupid way, of course it and any other secure authentication scheme will fail. A secure ID card is pointless if all you need to use it is its "number". The card is secure only if you use its biometric authentication, e.g. via a palm or fingertip reader, or by physically presenting yourself to a bank or other facility that can do the biometric measurement when applying for a credit card, etc.
