Story: Police chief criticises ID cards scheme
Data held centrally will be more secure ? Rubbish !!
The one comment that sticks out above the rest for me is:
"We're already in a society where a lot of information
is held in a myriad of places. Data held centrally will
be more secure."
Why ?!
How can it be true that doing the work of gathering and concentrating information about a person and placing it in a single database with multiple access routes; makes that information more secure?!
I would suggest that most people would make the implicit assumption that that would make it *less* secure.
