Comment No to another surveillance measure (Score 1) 216

The data that can be collected is listed in Scedule 1 of the Identity Cards Act 2006 http://www.opsi.gov.uk/ACTS/acts2006/ukpga_20060015_en_5#sch1 There are around 50 pieces of information, however you should look at paragraph 2(d) which gives the government the right to record any biometric information about us. My biggest problem with this scheme is that of function creep and the great amount of surveillance we have here in the UK. If you look down to paragraph 9 in the link I provided you can also see the scheme creates an automatic audit trail every time the information is used. Therefore the correct way to look at this system is in terms of surveillance and building indexes on our lives. I just don't think it is wise to allow the government this much potential for abuse with no reasonable justification.
