On the cards..
Listener Philip sent us an email , which is apparently a consultation carried out for "the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Office Identity & Passport Service.". According to the blurb, "They want to find out what 16-25 year olds think about [..] the National Identity Scheme and getting your reactions to what services could be included with it and their potential costs."
There's also a video starring the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Secretary and some young people:
Philip titled his email, "ID Cards, more mind-control propaganda for the 'yoof'" which suggests he's not a fan. What do you think?
By pure co-incidence, we're looking at card security on iPM this week. But not ID cards, rather smart-cards used on transportation and a variety of other key-less entry systems. If you know about that do please feel free to share what you know.
