LSE revisits ID cards
The London School of Economics have revisited their controversial report on ID cards – and find that the Government has totally failed to engage with the points they raised (the “response” to date has been “scurrilous”!). Indeed, the (previously pro-ID) LSE has now moved to a sceptical position because of the lack of rational debate and the way most decisions are being made in secret.
“Dozens of questions about the scheme’s architecture, goals, feasibility, stakeholder engagement and outcomes remain unanswered”. says the report. “The secuirty of the scheme remains unstable, as are the technical arrangements for the proposal. The performance of biometric technology is increasingly questionable. We continue to contest the legality of the scheme. The financial arrangements for the proposals are almost entirely secret, raising important questions of constitutional significance.”
