This is how ID cards could end up being used:

Nice to see someone actually gets it....:ok:

Radar,
That is a bit of a stretch.

I do have some reservations however I would support the issuing of ID cards to airside workers if it met 2 basic requirements:

1. Replaced the current CRB/Disclosure Scotland check and stopped the need for priodical renewal of the CRB check.
2. It enabled owners to use their ID at any UK (and potentially EU) airport if required, instead of the current multiple CRB checks to obtain airside passes - unless of course, you are air crew.

(2) for me would be the most advantageous thing to happen. Currently it is almost impossible to maintain ID's at multiple UK airports.

Unfortunately neither is going to happen. Also don't mix up the campaign against National ID's with airport security ID's.
The Government has the intention of eventually following your every move through the ID system.
It has nothing to do with anti-terrorism.
Airport employees are being discriminated against so the government can introduce them by stealth. We will not be given a choice as the rest of the country will have.
