Yet two more data losses today
50, 000 RAF files missing, stolen from a 'secure' military base.

11, 000 teachers files lost by a courier

Becoming a bit of habit, wouldn't you say? And this on the same day (virtually) that the gov rolls out its id cards

It seems that id cards are voluntary (like they are going to stay like that), except for foreign nationals. Like any self respecting terrorist is going to rush out to but an id card. And it seems the data cantained on the id card is innaccurate in a propartion of the cards, and iy'll only be a matter of time before the cards are hacked.
This is yet another example of a complete and utter waste of money. I cannot find one article in favour of id cards, not gov related, anywhere. For crying out loud, LISTEN TO US.
