As I said on the very first page of this thread, I'm not opposed to identity cards in principle, because of the paranoid belief that their introduction would lead to an attack on my civil liberties.

No one I've spoken to that carried them in Word War II, thought their civil liberties were erroded by having them. But hey, perhaps they would say that...as we won that war.
