These ID cards could actually be used as a tool for mass civil disobedience and even revolution. If you can get lots of people in every major city to throw their ID cards in a large bucket, then move the buckets around the country to other cities, you can then distribute millions of ID cards in a completely random fashion. Then let people apply for other documents like driving licenses or credit cards using their ‘new’ ID cards while keeping hold of their original passports. Repeat the exercise twice for applying for other documents and the government will have no bloody clue who is who, who lives where, who has which card and the ID cards would be rendered useless. Kill the whole stupid scheme.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

The budget allocated for the Trident upgrade and the ID card scheme is being diverted to perfecting the Reality Bomb.
Rather than using the Planetary alignment to broadcast the DoomsDay Signal - the Reality Bomb will be delivered by a Viral Mechamism - destroying all organic material but leaving matter in an unpopulated and uninhabitaed Universe.
This will be the ultimate Doom.Comment

Or maybe we could implant the ID card on the person, by some sort of chip.

Wouldnt want to create a panic you see.
That said - I do have the antidote- a fiver a pop.
Toodles !
In this life, one thing counts
In the Bank, large amounts
I'm afraid these don't grow on trees,
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two
Make a Pandemic or Two Boys
A Trident Upgrade or Two Boys
A war In Iraq or Two Boys

There's the prospect of tattooing everyone at birth, but I fear that'd be a bit too close to the work of those naughty, naughty chaps in SW Poland.Comment

I can just imagine Bobble-eye Brown being ejected from the Commons when the retina scan on his glass eye sends the system into meltdown and he waves a report into the recession over the plate screaming 'let me in you b@stards, I admit my fingerprints are all over this'
