I know I'm preaching to the converted here, but this article from The Times just reinforces why some of us are so anti ID cards and store cards and so forth.

IT IS the ultimate in invasive but highly targeted marketing — and a world-first for a magazine cover. More than 40,000 subscribers to Reason, a highbrow politics magazine based in Los Angeles, will this week find their own name on the front cover together with an aerial photograph of their own home, circled in red. Beneath is the headline “They Know Where You Are!”

Well, you can't really subscribe to a magazine without giving it your address. Reason (for which I've written once) was making a point. A libertarian point, since that's the magazine's bent, to be sure.
