I dont understand the paranoia of ID cards as so many of us are willing to use Nectar cards which tell so many major companies what we buy and how often we buy this stuff, eg Sainsburys shoping, and petrol, etc!
Secondly, I dont seem to see much difference in the ID cards to the idea of a passport? Do we not need to give a whole host of personal details to get a passport? Wouldnt we just be walking round with a credit card passport all day long?
Finally, the Big Brother theme? Why is there such paranoia if you have nothing to hide? And if the ID cards manage to stop people flying jets into Canary Wharf then I will be first in line to get my ID card, whether im being spied on or not!
