Home Office minister boosts case against ID cards Feb 27

In a story about two British men trying to get their DNA removed from the national database, the BBC has reiterated one of Home Officer minister Tony McNulty’s arguments against having a mandatory DNA database of the whole population:

“How to maintain the security of a database with 4.5m people on it is one thing. Doing that for 60m people is another,” he added.

Excellent point, Tony. And guess what – it applies exactly as much to ID cards as it does to DNA.
