Just like how valiantly the govt has prevented the Aadhar database from leaking again (and again, all the while claiming Aadhar is completely optional), I am sure they will be able to make a completely secure application this time too.

I don't even need to go to point that the government will have intentions to abuse it, it's the incompetence of those fucking morons that will doom us all.
