At least the GCC gummits are up-front about it so one has a choice. The US does it and doesn't tell the newspapers...so much for the First Amendment! Which is worse?

By the way, I can't wait to get out of here!!!

I also am curious about the Super-Duper UAE ID cards we had to get last year. When do they start being the "Smart Cards" that were promised to eliminate the multiple documents and I can use it to pay my Etisilat bill, use as a visa, car registration, driver"s license etc? Mine remains as useless as a football bat but yet another Government agency has my biometrics. when do I win?

I thought so.....
