I would ask 'Who guards the guards?'
Our police force have proved that they can be manipulated and are not above suspicion, and would cite the Hillsborough debacle as evidence.

I don't think it's even necessarily about corruption either. Heaven knows the cock-ups that have happened with huge software launches by various govt depts in the past have been such debacles that a whole population database would have to be very carefully set up. I suspect that our friends from Salt Lake City may have the experience to do it but very high risk.
