The case for identity cards has been branded "bogus" after an ex-MI5 chief said they might not help fight terror. Dame Stella Rimington has said most documents could be forged and this would render ID cards "useless".
Biometric testing of face, eye and fingerprints could soon be used on every resident of the UK to create compulsory identity cards. If the government gets its way, the information on the chip would also be stored on a national identity register, accessible to the police, government departments, the Inland Revenue, immigration and intelligence services.
Do we really want this dangerous waste of money?
