But on the National Identity Register it would all be held in one place, open to fraud and lax procedures, and available to a whole host of people at almost the touch of a button.

People want good government of which security is just a part, and I really don't see how ID cards will help improve anything for the public, though it will make a mint for the companies given the contracts. And as for ID cards controlling immigration - is that a joke?
Do you trust this government, and future governments, too?

Governance in the UK is on the slide though. It's ironic that the government wants to impose democratic government on Afghanistan when it has done so much to undermine our own democracy.
