Whoah. I didn't know such a consortium existed.

Kind of like government and commerce using your big brother SSN to monitor your financial, credit cards, etc. (and medical) dealings.

honestly, I dislike beoing a number and having my information monitored and used to make imperosnal decisons based upon some IF-THEN statement. Truly scary stuff. Right now I doubt it's very well connected, but with the advent of PC's and coupled with Moores Law, we'll see everything in our lives interconnected and accessible by all governmental agencies as well as private sector industries who make a dollar on our back. It used to be that your driving record and credit history were not part of getting a job. Now companies are using ones health as grounds for hiring and insurnace premiums.
