Would you trust these people with your details?Jaqui Smith Home Office Minister is steam rollering ahead with the introduction to the ID card system. Last week she hit the news with the ID card targeting immigrants! Everyone entering the country will ‘by law’ be required to have the ID card. Next year Smith wants to introduce the ID system to all airport and high security workers in the UK Regardless of the mounting opposition against the scheme, Smith seems is ignoring everything and everyone who has an opinion opposed to the idea. Below is an up to date list of government data cockups that sooner or later will without doubt ‘end up in the wrong hands’.
Jan 2005: The government loses disks with information relating to all child credit claims?
