So am I understanding this correctly?
They want to stop UK nationals from working airside by refusing release of a Criminal Record Check if they object to an ID card, but it will be business as usual for foreign workers who of course do not need criminal record checks to work airside regardless of whether they are obliged to have an ID card. So they do not know how many foreign criminals work airside now, and even with ID cards, they still will not know how many foreign criminals work airside. Meanwhile, those UK workers who are able to prove that they do not have a criminal record will be prevented from doing so. So if enough people with CRC's passed object to the ID cards, we would potentially have more criminals woking airside than we do at the moment..
