ID Vault: In Germany you might get problems with that

As far as I know it might be illegal (at least in Germany [BDSG, TKG, etc...]) to download an information that is property of a person without notifying him/her and without his/her agreement.
I doubt that an employee council ("Betriebsrat") would agree to the use of such option.
If I would be accused that I have done something - i.e. sending a mail to my CEO wishing him to hell <g> - I would just said "It cannot be guaranteed that my ID is safe from abuse and can only be used by myself, therefore Authenticity and Non-Repudiation is not guaranteed". Than, you got a problem to proove that someone has done something bulletproven.

OK, Americans have no problems with privacy, but in Europe and especially in Germany, privacy is handled much more restrictive.
I would opt for an optional notification at least.
