I wouldn't worry about it for three reasons

1) With the present shambles the govt might not be in power long enough to implement the scheme

2) It will cost 10 times the estimate like all govt schemes, ie £500bn rather than 50bn

3) When they have to start fingerprinting ordinary people like criminals, expect a BIG backlash.
