Now the bombers of July 7th have seemingly blown away any objections to identity cards the government is getting busy with biometrics.

 

One small problem – they don’t work. There hasn't been a single biometric test that hasn't been cracked by hackers and at any time there's a failure rate that goes as high as five per cent. That's three million Britons who are going to get in trouble because of faulty security. Surely all this money would be better spent by bobbies on the beat and better intelligence.

Do you agree?
