Tapping Fred what is happening here is the Feds are saying, "we need to know who is breaking the law." Since identities are being stolen because identities are not being protected very well, then the Feds ask for more and more leeway. Meantime the web sites ask for more and more identity information. And the financial institutions ask for more and more identity information. And more and more of everything that comprises our individual digital identities gets out into cyberspace so that more and more people can masquerade as you or I and do things that the Feds say they have to keep track of. This goes on until everybody knows everything about everybody and nobody uses the internet anymore because it is like going into a place to get robbed. In fact the internet already has that reputation amongst the large number of people who refuse to use it.
