UK I.D. Cards

Not impressed!

As most people should know, there will soon be I.D. cards in the UK and some sorta registry and whatnot.

The final design for the cards have been released -


The bit I'm not pleased about is that is this:
The aesthetic layout of the card is not dissimilar to a UK driving license but holds two fingerprints and a photograph encoded on a chip. the unique number on the card links it to the national identity register which under recent legislation may hold even more data about the cardholder.

Joy. I'm not pleased, but apparently the government are saying they won't be compulsory.. Yeah, lets see how long that lasts!
