I agree

Surely the current ID checks for airport workers are adequate? If they are inadequate, then all air travellers are constantly at a high risk - which I doubt.

If the current ID checks are adequate, then why does the system need changing? And changing to a system that will be less secure?

Another point I agree with: The government has demonstrated over and over again that it simply is not able to safeguard citizen data effectively. Why should we trust it with yet more information, held in centralised databases, accessible by thousands more people?
