Just like now you mean....

Yup just like now, only without the safguards of multiple incompatible
distributed and non connected databases that limit the scope of an
error, and provide alternative routes to perform sanity checks and
consistency checks on the data when something goes wrong.

Also don't forget the new scope for data mining exercises correlating
your innocent behaviour to that of a known problem groups.

On the other hand consider this. The way our government works has not been
changed for centuries. There are, IIRC, about 14 major government
departments and on each of them you can have multiple identities. They do
not communicate between them because of bureaucracy, so the maths says that
the opportunity for fraud is proportional to Factorial 14. The bit that
gets me is the scroungers who know this and take advantage of it that is
costing me and you hard earned cash. I am not talking of the genuine single
parent who is having a hard time - its the professional lazy *******s who
are parasites to our society. A single identity across all of government
would eliminate the great majority of that. Think of how many hospitals
could be build by the savings.
