I guess there's the fear that the data gets misused or abused? Seems like paranoia over nothing though.

My biggest thing, was the cynicism of the acronym, there is no doubt that national ID's are coming, and fact is the government has nearly all this information available in some way shape or form. It does open up the potential for abuse, but that is also just a part of a governmental structure, and the regulations need to be in place to minimize the opportunity and punish those who do abuse the privileges.
