This is NOT, I repeat NOT a thread for those for or against the scheme (there's another thread for that). This is about HOW the scheme will (or not as the case may be) work.

thanks in advance.

Sadly ID cards will not stop our loony government from terrorising the world in the name of democracy and freedom.

I heard that. In fact I've recorded it and have located you Moses with my potato-shaped, GPS-guided authoritariantwat-ometer.

I'll have you rendered for all eternity as a comedic character in Toy Story 4! No remission!

When a Government wants to introduce any legislation I always ask myself, now if the party in Government was in opposition, what would be their view?
Can you imagine Charles Clarke's reaction if it was a Conservative Government proposing this?
This is a man who was President of the NUS and marched on many campaigns of a left wing nature.
But, hey, he's Establishment now and coining it.

ID cards will not stop terrorism, it's all a crock of crap.

It's just another excuse to rip us off, why should we have to pay over £90 to prove we are British FFS, not forgetting how they reckon they will hold personal details such as Bank Details, Medical Records etc............. I mean the next thing that will happen is people will get mugged for their ID cards and the yobs will hack/clone the card and use your every dam detail!!

I think you could argue that in many cases, ID cards might actually aid a terrorist. Given the increase in Identity theft - which is a huge problem and getting worse. There are already many documented cases of house break ins being specifically used to collect personal information, such as bank cards, NI numbers, driving licences etc - all the things you would need to create a 'fake' person. Imagine an ID card that holds all your personal details....

Even if that information was encrypted, it is not impossible to get hold of it (unless they are using military strength encryption, which is highly unlikey, as most of it is still considered secret and highly sensitive). The infomation on these cards would be highly useful for the terrorist who wants to 'blend in', or obtain serivces and money etc.

The whole idea is deeply flawed, ill thought-out and ridiculously expensive.
