Here’s the story on the day after…

I have said this before on this blog. There are countries where a national identification card is completely non-controversial. There are possible benefits to society from a well run and properly managed system.

But in my heart of hearts I do not believe that this country’s government (and I do not distinguish between political party here) is capable of building and operating an ID management system at this point in time without disastrous consequences to information assurance.
