Without really knowing I'll bet there will be catagories for protection purposes,
for judges, police, etc etc.
It would not be unreasonable for some people to be able to apply for that catagory.
I have another worry for you. With oil depletion, petrol rationing will
probably become necessary. There is a suggestion that the card be used
to allocate a yearly supply of petrol. Then under the Transition Protocol
each time you buy petrol the amount is deducted. Each year the depletion
percentage would reduce your allocation. You could buy or sell unused
allocation from other card holders.
Just anyone having a card reader would not give access to all the data
if it was encrypted.
Encryption can be that tight that you will be an old lady in a nursing
home before it got unpacked.
