the ict proposal of the ID card scheme is needed is one big database full of everyones data. this would be good because all of the data on the base would be backed up etc so it won't be lost...
with the initial idea of these cards... where would we exactly use them? will we be the only country that uses them and would this be a disadvantage?
the main reason for an ID card would be the main deason as identification... but people have passports, provisionals and driving lisences.. i mean would there be any point in ANOTHER card to be put in the wallet? especially if you had to pay for it anyway.
however according tyo the home office: "ID cards will provide an easy and secure way for legal UK residents to prove who they are when they apply for services at private businesses, or for government benefits".
this is true against illegal immigrants that come in the country and work illegally. this is a good idea however if this happens then the government should take away certain identity cards because there will be too many... the drawbacks of the system would be fraud because at the moment there have been cases about identity theft and pin and chip theft... these systems are evry hard to crack but they have been tackled which is a big worry.
all it needs is someone to lose it and a russian gangstar can fraud these and sell them to polish and latvian imigrants for thousands of pounds.. it will slow down the rate of immigrants but it will not completly stop it.
i believe we should have these cards but other cards should be stopped.. because if the id card has all of the important information should eb on the ID card anyway...such as a driving permit etc...
