There is no doubt that identity theft does happen but does it happen as often as the government would have us believe? Are there hoards of criminals rooting through our rubbish bins during the dark hours?

I see all the noise about identity theft as scare mongering to make us more appreciative of the ID cards that the government wants to introduce. We are being softened up so that we will welcome the ID cards with open arms (and open wallets and purses) in the false hope that ID cards will be the panacea to cure the identity theft problem.
