Jim, Re: Intels ID seems to increase the possibility of snooping and over the internet no less which scares the heck out of people and my be actually counter-productive to promoting internet trade.

By itself, the ID scheme is completely useless. it doesn't expose
any danger nor enhance the security.

As a programmer, I tried to formulate scenarios which can make
this useful and seems that putting this ID to use is more
complex than one thought.
