These cases are becoming more common now we're relying on technology to store our personal details, and untrained staff to maintain and secure the data, yet they still want us to accept the idea of Identity Cards which contain ALL our personal details. A hacker's dream come true!

I'm just waiting for the first post to TSF from a government official asking for help. "Encryption? What's that? Backups? Never heard of them."
