Story: Government creates ID card agency

I'm still at a loss what this scheme is supposed to do for us. It won't stop, or even slow down terrorism; it will be a positive boon for ID theft and unless the police are going to spend all their time doing street stop searches on "Dodgy Looking" (read ethnic minority) people, it won't do anything for illegal immigration either. This isn't me saying this, it is the likes of Stella Rimington and others who know a great deal about more the practicalities of this stuff than I do. All I do know is that there has never yet been an uncrackable security technology, so the likelihood of the ID cards remaining unforgeable is vanishingly small .. and when that happens, the carrier of the forged ID can BE me. What defence do I have when the "Perfect" ID is being used in my name.
