Id's rubbish

That wasn't a typo. The Government have lost more data, 3 million details of learner drivers in Ohio in the US. Quite what a hard drive was doing over there is another matter, but it's now clear that the Government cannot be trusted with our details.

The ID card scheme must now be seen as dead as the proverbial. We cannot be sure they will be able to keep our details secure and if that data happened to be a print of our eye's iris, where do we get a new eyeball from? Unlike a bank account, it's not something that's easily replaceable.

So when will the Government decide to ditch it? Probably the New Year. If they don't then I think they will regret it!

Squiffy.
