Take 1 ID Card, add a centralised Medical Record Database, throw in a "State Police Force, add a few bank details to the ID Card along with NI number and a spot of DNA and finally add thousands of CCTV cameras. What is the end result? Who needs all this information? Are we all suspected terrorists and or criminals? The answers are simple.
All UK Government Agencies and the US Agencies ( CIA, FBI etc. ), Police Officers, Securicor and Group 4 employees and any Local Government Officer will easily get anything they want. We are all suspected criminals and or terrorists in the eyes of this failing Government. George Orwell's "Big Brother" is nothing compared with what PM Blair and his cronies are planning. Finally, ID Cards ( with all the centralised databases ) will not prevent crime and or terrorism but I can see a massive increase in cases of blackmail for the future.
