BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | ID card costs rise above �5bn

Astonishing stupidity in action:

BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | ID card costs rise above �5bn

Not only is the ID card a waste of money, it is worse than useless. The ID card will be a boon for identity thieves.

Here's why: The ID card will be touted by the government as being trustworthy. People will indeed trust ID cards. The forgers will make ID cards to fool the person on the street into revealing small things that will open the door to bigger things.

Real ID security comes from multiple forms of ID, not one super flawed one.
