The UK government's record on data security is abysmal, e.g. losing a CD with 28 million personal records last year. I can understand DavidJohnson6's concerns, even if I do not agree with his methods
Identity Theft is big business and I fully share DavidJohnson6's concerns too!
I asked questions about the "Disclosure Scotland" Enhanced Criminal Record Checks that we have to have done as workers with airside access for the same reason and just got a curt "if you don't get a CRC, you can't work!" response.
All the same, I am a little worried about faceless bureacrats and a private company having access to all of my personal data - considerably more, I have to say, than that contained in a passport!
