Re: ID cards

Sounds like a vast waste of resources to me.

A terrorist could easily have an id card and still be a terrorist.

Someone employing an illegal worker isn't going to say "Hang on mate, you don't have an id card, I'll have to report you."

I'm struggling to see how these cards will impact on id fraud - if I want to apply for a credit card, is the company going to ask me to come in so they can scan my iris and check it's really me?

Perhaps it might have some effect on benefit fraud, but this seems a completely overblown and inappropriate solution.

Plus I don't trust the Government to setup and administer the database securely and safely.

Can anyone explain what is so good about these cards?
Seems to me the money could be much better spent.
