Story: Photos: Famous fraudster hits out at ID cards
You don't need experts, just listen to the people!
It is actually going to be very easy to get a "valid" card complete with your own bio-data on it.
All you'll need is supporting documents that are already forged. We all know it's easy to get hold of birth certificates, NI numbers and drivers licenses. If the systems around the supporting documents is weak, then so is the ID card system.
The problem with the ID card is that it will be accepted as absolute proof of identity. Without question you will be the person on that card. At least at the moment you have to provide a couple of supporting documents.
Personally I would have thought the money was better spent on making those supporting documents more secure. At the end of the day we will have spent billions on a card that is going to be used to join your local video shop.
