Too little, too late

If a company was to operate in the same way the government has, they would have been hauled over the coals, hung, drawn & quartered by any number of regulatory authorities. And after that they would be handed over to the public for more of the same.

Considering that it appears the order to extract the data was given by 'higher' management there is little believe that the same level of management won't just sweep their secrets under the carpet when needed.

Is the spot check a true spot check? Or perhaps it will be one of the kind we had at school, where the whole building would be repainted in a weekend and posters and the like appeared plastered on the walls, only to come down after the inspection was over.

Trust them with my personal information for an ID card, i don't even trust them to get my tax code right.
