Two Great Ideas...

...not!

First up:

August 15, 2004 -- With little fanfare, the Federal Reserve will begin transferring the nation's money supply over an Internet-based system this month — a move critics say could open the U.S.'s banking system to cyber threats.
Duh. You don't say. This is about as good an idea as electronic voting systems.

Second:

EU orders health ID cards for all tourists

Britons traveling in Europe are to be issued with a new card to give them swift access to the health service when they fall ill. The technology for issuing the cards - which could be a forerunner to more widespread identity cards - is being prepared by the Department of Health, on instructions from the EU Commission, which wants a standard card in use across all 25 EU states.
The day Europe tries pulling this kind of crap with US Citizens is the day they lose any future tourism $$ from my wallet. A variation of President Heston's famous line comes to mind...and the language is not fit to publish =).
