Re: Digital Driving Licences

I thought we had a topic on Digital IDs, but I cant find one, just this.

Looks like that plan is dead in the water now (again).

I'm quietly waiting in anticipation of some bright spark in Burnhams new Government to suggest everyone has a QR code tattooed on their forehead . .

Why - implanted RFID chip would be easier, quicker, cheaper, and more effective…

(if you’re going to be apocalyptically pessimistic, try and be realistic about it… ;) )

Re: Digital Driving Licences

The tattoo is easier to fake than an implanted chip, Governments usually go with the stupid choice . . .
