Hi Tom,
Interesting question.

Just as addendum to this, there is a person in Ontario
who is challenging the digital photos for driving licenses
as they will be stored in a central database. Presumably
the same argument will be made for the health card photos
as well.

The extension of gov't use of these photos can be seen in
England, with the massive network of video cameras scanning
particularly gov't streets, but shops, malls etc, which
are prone to terrorist attacks, (or freedom fighters, depending
who's side you're on!).

Have a nice day!
