Story: Schneier: ID cards will worsen ID theft
Also, look at how successful other Government IT projects are (NHS!).
Does the government also think that it will cost as much as they say? They will force IT companies to keep the proposed cost to an artificially low level (they will throw out any bid that is above their "proposed" cost). Once the work is 30 - 40% done the winners of the bid will then have to go back to the government and say that they are not having the project delivered unless they pay £n Billion or tax payers money (obviously this will be accounted for in ways that make the true cost almost invisible!)
