In reality, it's been going on for some time. In fact, both the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly have debated this matter formally. They have realised the flaws in the ID card system."They know the dangers of a policy where vital services may be withheld from vulnerable people because they don't have the right piece of plastic.

ID cards on Trial: Minister defends "robust" biometrics
The Home Office has once again rounded on critics of the ID card scheme and dismissed concerns that biometric technology will not be accurate or reliable enough when the first cards are introduced in 2008.The attack by Home Office Minister Tony McNulty at an event hosted by IT industry trade body Intellect in London came on the same day that silicon.com launched its ID Cards on Trial campaign, which aims to lobby the government to address cost, scope and technological concerns that could derail the whole project.Addressing an audience of IT suppliers chomping at the bit for nuggets of information about when the first tenders might go out, McNulty said: "Once we get onto the procurement process and delivery neither the government nor the IT sector will be found wanting... I am still confident and robust in my view about the technology in view of the timetable we are talking about."

'He's just plain stupid,' Daley says
Mayor Daley lashed out at an in-law of one of his brothers Saturday, saying the man was "just plain stupid" for his alleged role in a city Water Management department payroll scam. John Briatta, the department's $94,827-a-year chief equipment dispatcher, and eight others were fired last week after being accused of falsifying attendance records by swiping each other in and out with ID cards that effectively worked as a computerized time clock system. Briatta's sister is the wife of John Daley, brother of the mayor and a Cook County commissioner. City officials said the ID card system will be replaced in the coming year with technology that relies on "biometric thumbprints."
