It depends how solid the implementation is, and what the competency reputation of the government implementing it is.

Well, we can't refuse a system or a technology on the basis of "depends". Your physical safety when traveling anywhere by any means depends on many factors. You still leave the house, don't you? Even if you don't, most rational people do, daily.

    Of course we can, based exactly on the dependencies. If someone has an atrocious representation, we don't need to trust the system, if they don't then it becomes more reasonable to do so.

    Not all risks are equal.

    • Is this trolling?

      But you have provided zero exact dependencies or details. All you said was "depends".

      > Not all risks are equal.

      But you have claimed nothing about this particular risk. Is it big? Is it small? We have no idea.

      This is sophistry. Fancy words attempting to sound smart with zero content.

      You are not arguing either for this tech, or against it, or providing any insight into how one might decide. Of course it depends on some things. Gee, how did we not think of that before you told us.
