And what's the point of it anyway?

Like banning all hand guns in the UK stopped criminals getting hold of them. The only people that inconvenienced was law abiding gun club members.

Like the dangerous dogs act stopped people keeping them, well honest law abiding people anyway.

Even the British government when looking into credit card type social security payment books, with photo, threw it out because it would be too easy for criminals to forge.

The only people that this "evidence" will identify are the likes of us honest types who have nothing to hide.

The only way to prevent Sep 11 happening again is to have security checks at airports done PROPERLY and not as we frequently read in the press and within these forums of poor quality checks being carried out.

I am all for good security, but this latest from ej seems to me to be a case of just being seen to be doing something despite the principle having more holes in it than a Swiss cheese.
