The Lichtbildausweis and the Überwachungswahn

The Lichtbildausweis and the Überwachungswahn
The future of crime surely lies in identitytheft. In our 'post-911'-mindset we choose to live in a 'show me who you are'-society. But does this really makes us safer? Are people even aware what we are talking about or are we creating a new problem one that might be very hard to fix? For years FoeBuD has been fighting the pointless security control of the Überwachungswahn. Last year they introduced their very own identity card. An official FoeBuD "Lichtbildausweis". With all characteristics it is evidently not a real ID. Or isn't it clear at all? Would the Dutch Secret Service, the Counter Terrorism Unit, Parliament, the Royal Palace, police, ministeries, mobile phone companies, airlines or hell even the European Parliament accept it? Would a Lichtbildausweis be sufficient to vote for Dutch elections? And if government finds out they have been fooled how would they react? This talk is the story behind the Lichtbildausweis and its value in real life and the story behind risks in the modern society. Why it is vital to fight pointless security measures. And while your shaking up the bureaucrats why not have some fun? We will also demonstrate the pozess of manufacting IDs - and the idea behind.
