Every man, woman, and child was issued with an identity card in World War II.

I can't recall my granny ever bleating on about her, or anyone else's rights being infringed upon then.

The need for increased security measures was fully accepted.

Since the terrorist war that's been declared on western democracy will probably never end, I have no problem with idenity cards, now or in the future.

If it saves one innocent life I'll think it's been worthwhile carrying one.

To all those who chose to carry a mobile phone, do remember your choice allows your every movement to be tracked, as well as storing your every contact.

Perhaps the civil liberties mob should start campaigning against mobiles.
