With 38 years airside I fail to see the reason in objecting to it. It is unlikely to prevent the threat to aviation and will be as ineffective as the CRC checks have proved to be. It is just another hurdle
Maybe you should get up to speed with the facts about the NEW national ID before you fail to see reason. It is not about carrying an ID, it is about the whole National ID data base and the Government plans to track everything you do. Also, for aviation workers it is the fact that we are being made to have these with the threat of dismissal for non compliance.
The rest of the country will only have one if they want one. Even when you have one it will not replace the Airport ID sytstems we currently have. In fact once you have been forced to have one it will not be compulsory to carry it at all. We are being singled out to kick start the Governments insane plans.
Read the other threads suggested and get more of an insight into the whole thing. Don't get tricked into sleepwalking into this. If you want one for the right reasons then fair enough but approach it from an educated point first.
