Blind Politicians, usless civil servants

The whole system stinks of unknowledgeable inefficiency. Politicians are being guided by biased civil servants that they have the perfect system - if it's not perfect it should be rejected out of hand - so the unknowledgeable politician who just happens to be that minister in the latest shuffle agrees with his civil servants, a cheap and nasty contractor gets the job. Before you know it, at great cost, everyone's lifestory is recorded on a couple of hard drives and connected to every airport and port in the land - all ready to be copied onto a flash drive or disk and lost.
The winners? Civil servants who all got promoted because they suceeded in getting another white elephant off the ground, the contractors raking in a great profit for doing what our Customs and Immigration Border Control should do and the Policician who is promoted in the cabinet for succeeding to spend a fortune.
The losers? Us people and then the poor guys who copy and lose the secure (LOL) data and no longer have a job.

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.
