£1,000 for Brown's fingerprints

That would be interesting, particularly if the government did seek to prosecute, presumably for incitement or somesuch. Here's a quote about why No2ID are offering a bounty from ID card rebels offer £1,000 for Brown's fingerprints | Politics | The Observer: "the campaign was designed to highlight the increasing sensitivity of fingerprinting as a political issue. 'Having committed the largest data breach in history, the government is about to perpetrate the largest identity theft in history,' he said.
'I'm sure the government will seek legal advice to see if we can be prosecuted,' said Simon Davies, director of Privacy International. 'But it would be a foolish government that would try to charge civil rights groups.'"
A lot to applaud there. Yes the government are proposing to nationalise our identities and then rent them back to us, in effect. But what I really like about this idea is the way that it calls time on that whole 'nothing to hide nothing to fear' thing. If Brown etc do go for legal proceedings, they are in effect saying, 'something to fear whether or not nothing to hide'. It makes this legislation personal and drives home how easy it would be to fake an identity via a fingerprint. It highlights that technology is far from foolproof and it makes the point directly to the head honcho, who may be wobbly on ID cards anyway, because of the cost /white elephant nature of the project.
