Feature on Blair's announcement that the database (the real reason for ID cards, if anything is) will be trawled by the police to try and find suspects to old crimes.
A perfect example of lying by ministers, incompetent opposition who accept assurances rather than insisting on amendments (DOH!), Blair sticking his oar in, poor or duplicitous drafting, and the citing of totally meaningless "safeguards" by another government minister.

If they shut your chip off after it becomes currency, you would have no recourse. Trading liberty for security hands control to tyrants.
