EU body slams biometric ID cards
In a great article on an EU body's report on biometric ID Cards, "Biometric ID cards an insecure menace, says EU ID outfit", Reg veteran John Lettice concludes:
"Could we all be going to wake up in ten years time and conclude biometric ID was a really dumb idea? It's a thought."
It certainly is. I think we will all eventually come to realise what a misguided, unsecure, ridiculous project the UK ID cards scheme is.

I liked the report's point that once biometric details have been stolen they can't exactly be changed, as you could with a stolen password. The imagery this evokes is quite funny - or horrific, depending on your sense of humour...
