@eaf071d1 While the card itself is of questionable legality and the unreliability of it actually makes it more on the legal side, very few people realize that asking you for it and being ready to deny products/services based on it is explicitly criminal, not just unlawful. There we encounter reverse catch 22, what is the use of it being criminal if Gvt who should enforce that bit actually wants this to happen? 

 @c45edd90 that misses the point. Everyone is so worried about this or that, but this is the best they got.
