It came from the ID-card
When the ex-head of your internal security services comes out and says that she doesn't believe ID cards would not necessarily make us any safer you really have to listen to her:
"My angle on ID cards is that they may be of some use but only if they can be made unforgeable - and all our other documentation is quite easy to forge.
"If we have ID cards at vast expense and people can go into a back room and forge them they are going to be absolutely useless.
"ID cards may be helpful in all kinds of things but I don't think they are necessarily going to make us any safer."
lD cards will never be unforgable, they will just be a litle bit harder to forge. Meanwhile, this will cost us around £5.8 billion, which is just a ridiculous amount of money for any white elephant.
The $100 laptop is launched to the worlds poor to cries of "lol, n00b".
And I've spent the day trying to compile AUTO2000, a dynamics tool. It has refused to cooperate so far.
I haven't threatened it with power tools. Yet.
