There is only one ID, and it also acts as one's 'credit card'.

 

[Eugene]

Interesting...

 

[Morgan]

@Eugene I am a citizen of at least 5 nations, many of whom I cannot mention as it would be extremely illegal.

 

[Chase]

So your bank is attached to your ID?

 

[Morgan]

Not all my bank accounts, of course, they allow for privacy. Only the one account I may choose to allow the government to 'see'.

 

[Eugene]

Are there biometrics attached to it?

 

[Morgan]

Yes, as well as my medical history and working history, if any.

 

[Morgan]

It also knows how much taxes I have paid. This means if I were in need of government aid in Estonia, they would know precisely who I am, and which aid I need.

 

[Morgan]

Wonderful for citizens, not so much for an international thief, figuratively speaking.

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

two observations about my IDs: one, my us passport has only one barcode, which only encodes the passport number. two, my real id has a barcode on the back that i can't scan and probably has a lot of my info in it, but it doesn't have all the HYDE>>>JACQUELINE>OLIVIA>>>>>>> stuff that's on passports, which was on the back of my old EDL

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

Figuratively speaking. @Morgan

While that does seem a little cool, it's also a wee bit disconceerting
