Snakebite

And your point is? That particular topic point was about the licencing trade having access to your Information and misusing it. I still believe that you will not see biometric scanners in your local shop or pubs like I said in an earlier post within the ID cards debate, only government departments, security services and financial institutions will get access. Under correct control ID cards will work

I never said you called me cunt The government approach now is now veering more towards it being compulsary sooner rather than later maybe as early as 2007-8 but in any case you wont get a passport without giving up your biometric information. So unless you never want to ever leave the UK you will have to give up your biometric information. In any case once it is compuslary you will have to give it up anyway otherwise make sure you dont drop the soap when your serving time for your descision. Dont forget when going to prison they will take your biometric information from you anyway.

You'd better start saving for that 2500 fine

I take you've never heard of sarcasm then

What is it about all you anti-establishment buggers? So how do you physically get through customs then do you whip out your laptop and flash them yer numbers when they ask you to sit in front of a bloody scanner so they can scan your iris. Dont tell me you will have faked the ID card cracked the encryption and substituted your info for someone elses all whilst waiting in the fucking queue with that super computer in your back pocket. Not fucking likely if that was the case why not ransack every bank in the world of all their money. I mean if you have that much capability why not use it to take the money directly, it's much more profitable than stealing identities

Either you woke up this morning with part of your brain missing or you have even less of a clue and are just ranting on because you havent looked at the facts with a logical viewpoint. Okay you believe that everyone is incompetent and everything is flawed, that is your opinion is it not. So are you incompetent? if not why not? Then use that same reasoning for other people that might also be competent and what do you get someone that can actually do their job well believe it or not and actually make things work properly

I can see the following security protocols possibly being put in place with probably some more that I haven't thought of yet. Unique Scanning terminal ID number Dedicated data link address cross referenced against unique terminal ID for identification list of authorised Users of tied to the unique terminal ID Rotating Keycode card which changes on a by minute basis which will probably have it's own encryption protocols Biometric information used along with maybe a personal pin number for each authorised user on top of the rotating keycode to gain access High level of Public/Private key encryption thas uses the rotating keycode information to generate the encryption keys to transmit your data for verification

And I suppose every criminal will have several supercomputers in their back pocket to hack into this database. how long will it take them? Probably not quick enough before the encryption key is changed. Access to the database will require biometric information from someone that is authorised to use the scanning terminals on top of the encryption key. Even then you will most likely only get limited read only access and the database will log it. Im also sure the database will not transmit the biometric information to the person enquiring about someones identity, it will only confirm it.

Thats what the 15-20 Billion budget is for.

I dont think IT grads are going to surgically alter your iris since it is the physical key of that person trying to get into the country which cannot be copied. The biometric information given at that particular moment by the person has to match both the Information on their ID card and the National Identity Register, the latter of which will not be accessable to unauthorised persons.
