Apparently, more and more data is being stolen from credit/debit cards. Whether or not it's really happening, can't be verified. What matters is that the issue is being publicized. Why? Just like everything else that is publicized, for the purpose of getting people used to the idea. Why? Because in this case, cards, like id's, can be stolen or compromised. Therefore, there is a need for an ID that can't be compromised or stolen. The only way that can happen is if something is literally planted on you.
THE MARK OF THE BEAST!
NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO BUY OR SELL WITHOUT IT!
