I don't quite see why this is an issue? Like a national DNA database, I just don't see why an aid to law and order could be considered a bad thing?
I don't fancy the additional admin hurdles, but I'd happilly carry one.
This is not an aid to Law and Order. I Suggest you do some more research. It's already been stated that the National I.D card would not have prevented the London bus bombings. Issuing it only to Airport Airside workers is hardly solving the UK crime problem.
Once issued it will not be a requirement to carry it. It will not replace your airport I.D.
The issue is not with having an I.D, you need to read more on the subject..... Research...have a look at this sight..
