Kim Cameron's going to love this...

What do you reckon? Is losing the names, addresses, dates of birth, national insurance number and bank details of up to 25 million individuals, including children under 16 enough for Britain to wake up to the idea that a national identity card is a bad idea? Or that we have to be really, really careful about how we use and store biometric data?
A stunning example of how important the Laws of Identity are becoming. Perhaps more disturbingly, it's a stunning example of how the ramifications of basic computer security and privacy are just not understood, or perhaps even considered. And this is the Facebook generation...

This reminds me of a similar issue here in our country. When the idea of a national ID system first came in, a lot of people were skeptical about it. Most people were worried about giving their important numbers to people in the government. Personally, this could have been a good idea as it is really inconvenient to store a lot of IDs in your wallet. However, you cannot sacrifice the idea of trust.
