They'll get in again unfortunately but by how much? As for the ID cards I can't see how it would add anything, it would be no security value except in the case of those without a driving licence or passport... and how many does that entail?

Surely it would make better sense for anyone without either to be "made" to have either a passport or a provisional- and then be required to produce within 48 hrs of a reasonable request.

ID cards especially those containing sensitive data, I have qualms about. I've got nowt to hide but the prospect of having a big file with potentially sensitive information, to which people can "tap into" on a computer [with the added security implications] is rather Orwellian in concept and could have human rights implications IMHO.

Making people carry ID is not a problem [I already carry a photocard licence] but the "intelligent" ID proposed, and making it compulsory, is the problem.

Surely there's a "middle way"...
