ID Cards Help Paedophiles
Well, I don’t know if they actually do, but since the government and the police are happy to make such claims on the flimsiest evidence, I’m following suit. And here’s my evidence. Kim Cameron blogs about an article he read in the Sydney Morning Herald…
the Child Support Agency had 405 privacy breaches in nine months – two of which required mothers and their children to be relocated at taxpayers’ expense.
There ya go. What could be clearer? Now all I need is to find “proof” they help terrorists.
On a more serious note
Smartcard Privacy Taskforce head Allan Fels said the breaches highlighted why data on the proposed new card should be kept to a minimum.
I have nothing to add to that.
Heh, they actually do – at least the RFID-equipped ones: ‘RFID passports with improper shielding triggers bomb in simulation’ (from http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/index.php?blogthis=1&p=289).

The Child Support Agency has got nothing to do with Paedophiles – it’s a welfare thing to support single parents.
