Well, when our government/civil service/whatever loses the records of over 25,000,000 benefit claimants, you know you don't want ID Cards. That thing just SHOULD NOT happen. There isn't even a 'sh*t happens* clause in this - it isn't acceptable at all. Otherwise, terrorists getting their hands on nukes while the USA is over-seeing the whole operation would have to be acceptable, and it isn't (and Jack Bauer would effectively remove the kneecaps of the guilty, incompetent overseers too ...Jack! We need you now! ). So, would I trust anyone in our civil service or government with my data, with ID cards, or DNA? No.

The whole ID card thing to stop terrorism was a farce anyway. It didn't stop it in Spain. And I'm assuming to get an ID card, you have to prove who you are in the first place...so, er, I'm assuming it wouldn't be hard for terrorists to get them, then. There's this thing called deception...don't know if our government have heard of it (they do it all the time, but not very well, seemingly...). So, ID cards would be useless...the only way they could be of any use would be if the moment you applied, you were found out to be a terrorist - and then, it'd still be pointless because...why don't they just run those checks normally, instead of on such a special occasion? Would they really need to waste billions on a piece of paper when they could find the bad guys out without all that malarky?

I mean, the whole having to prove who you are to get an ID in the first place...LOL...if someone can get one, then there's NOTHING stopping them from committing a terrorist attack. They got the ID...so, this system is useless anyway. Anyway, like I said...one word - Spain.
