Phew! It's a good job that sort of thing isn't happening already with people's DNA, isn't it...?

I've decided to adopt a "tit for tat" attitude in the future to ID. When someone asks to see mine: I'll insist on seeing theirs first, and having their identity confirmed to me.

Firstly this is to address the issue of "information feudalism" that someone mentioned in a comment the other day: that the demands made on us are going to be one-way.

Secondly, well, it might be a laugh.
