In the U.K, the government put the names, addresses, bank account numbers and national insurance numbers of 25 million people onto a couple of CD’s and stuck them in the nearest post box.
Amazingly, 1 month later the records of 7.5 million bank accounts haven’t reached their destination and are being described as “lost”.
It just goes to show what a danger a scheme like an national ID card would be. The naive people who say “If you have nothing to hide, you’ve nothing to fear…” should start to consider whether they want the government to start collecting, burning onto CD and posting your biometric data around the country. First class stamp, though…
Would you trust this man with you and your family’s medical, social and life history on a data chip?
