ID fraud?

The Register has a good analysis of the UK government’s claims that ID cards would prevent £1.3 billion in ID fraud costs each year. Taking the government’s own figures and breaking them down into the basic categories of fraud related to ID theft, they reach a true possible saving of £35 million per year. Set against the known costs of an ID card scheme, that doesn’t sound like much, really.
