Ordering Pizza the ID Card Way

The Independent on Sunday carried a piece yesterday about the Government selling ID card data to help fund the costs of the project.

This has some grounding in fact from what we already know. The legislation allows the Government to offer a service to companies for checking people against the database. This service would presumably be sold to banks, utility companies etc.

In theory though this should just be their basic identity details and they should only be given a yes/no on the identity of the person rather than any additional data. We shall see.

Meanwhile, I was sent a link to this great flash presentation by the ACLU which has some relevance here…
