Identity Cards

[davywavy]

The Government is seeking to introduce ID cards, which they somewhat nonsensically claim will protect us from International Terrorism. Given that these cards will contain retinal and fingerprint biometric data, can anyone explain to me exactly how that will protect me from blind, handless cleric Abu Hamza?

That's because most people don't understand the concept of Civil Liberty.

If you wear cloured contact lenses or those freaky contact lenses that make you look like a vampire does it screw up retinal scanning?

We can but hope.

Retina scanning is still deeply ropey and inaccurate, I wouldnt trust it. Would doubt that it would work on me anyways because of my declining eyesight.

ID cards are evil, have you seen the details that they want to store?
