*A card with a chip in it would still not be accessible for Orthodox Jews on the sabbath because it involves electricity, but would solve their access problems at other times. However, if this is also just another biometric ID card, what is the point of having an app at all when a card is so much easier for users? Surely this is a sign that this whole scheme is ill-conceived. * If an ID is foisted upon us, something I strongly oppose, the alternative access route needs to be generally available to anyone who does not want to use their phone for ID. This is both because it intersects with religious beliefs and because I have the right to exist in society even if I have forgotten to charge my battery. Again, it would be better to not have a digital ID system at all.
