ID Cards

Take a listen to Radio 4's File on 4 programme tonight at 20:00 BST, repeated on Sunday 5 August at 17:00 BST. Should be an eye openner re the cancellation of iris recognition and the reversion to fingerprint technology. As Professor Daugman will say in the programme, "For the scheme as a whole it means that it can no longer deliver the goal of one citizen, one identity, because it cannot survive so many comparisons without making false matches - so there will be false claims of multiple identities."

The ID card system is a con and a sham, it will not prevent terrorism, it is being instituted so the Government and Authorities can track each of us from cradle to grave. The National Identity Register (NIR) is the main aim of the 'ID cards' scheme. Your NIR number would be the key to your whole life. Whenever your circumstances change you are compelled to have the register updated and of course it will be automatically updated every time you go on holiday, buy a car, visit the doctor, , possibly with a cost each time; that could be every time you move house, buy a car, go on holiday etc. When ANPR comes into force, every car journey could be logged.
