What about the merchant bankers?

Surely, if this lot have been handing out the reddies, totally unplanned and unaccounted for, we do not have any spare left. We are probably borrowing money to give it to the banks.

The obvious thing to do in this climate is to tighten the government belt and cancel all extraneous projects that have little chance of success on existing projections. In the case of the ID card scheme, the original budget has not even held water for the year or so since conception.
It would be best to immediately phase it down to an alien registration system, with possible extensions later, ie bug check it, or just cancel it now before it takes other money with it.

Regardless, the airline crew are correct this should not be a pilot scheme.

It seems to me this is a burden being placed on the wrong shoulders. There is not an It system in the world that can stop an individual taking information in their heads and spewing out at the nearest undesirable third party.
