Bu you have not actually said why we need them. Give us the reasons why we should spend vast sums of money to replace the forms of ID that we already have.Originally posted by minestrone View PostRule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

My reasons against ID card scheme are:
It will be open to abuse
It will be open to forgery
It will be open to abuse
It won't solve any problems
It will be open to abuse
It costs a fortune and will introduce another stealth tax
It will be open to abuse
I am innocent until proven guilty. Not the other way round.
It will be open to abuse
I see no reason why the government should hold my DNA/fingerprint/retina scan - it is an invasion of privacy
It will be open to abuse
The data will be made available to private companies - it is an invasion of privacy
It will be open to abuse
Given the government's track record for securing data, it will be hacked, or data will be lost
It will be open to abuse
It wont stop terrorism
It will be open to abuse
It wont stop illegal workers
It will be open to abuse
To name but a few..."Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. "

Why the sudden need to have our fingerprints on file anyway? It used to be that the police would destroy fingerprints taken from innocent parties, only keeping the fingerprints of convicted criminals permanently.Originally posted by Ruprect View PostBehold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

I just heard a good one: “Those with nothing to hide have the most to fear”. Amongst the various reasoning was “Everyone has something to hide or that they are not proud of. If someone has an identity with no black marks against it whatsoever then it will be flagged as being a potential forgery and they will face further, in-depth investigation.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

It's strange how even the pro id cards people cannot give any real reasons why we should spend all this money to replicate and duplicate our existing forms of ID.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Fingerprints: Infallible Evidence?
(CBS) The FBI has long maintained that fingerprint identification is an exact science that can be used to match prints with 100 percent certainty. But recently, the bureau was forced to admit that three top analysts all made the same mistake when they swore that fingerprint evidence linked Oregon lawyer Brandon Mayfield to the terrorist bombings in Madrid. Mayfield spent two weeks in jail before the FBI admitted its error and offered an apology.
Mayfield is one of a small but growing number of Americans who've been jailed on the basis a fingerprint match that turned out to be false.
