Here's a stupid idea - using credit cards to authenticate voters and participants in e-government. Why a stupid idea?

(You know - it's funny how professionals, including professors and journalists, think of their lifestyle as 'normal'. Trust me, it's not. Most people don't have retirement savings plans, summer homes, two car garages, investment portfolios, and the like. But you'd never know, following the media.)
