This is one of the better articles on ID cards/passports. It's here -Guy Herbert: World officialdom makes faking passports easy | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk: and the reason why I think you should read it is probably best summed up in the final paragraph. "The trouble is not technology. It is not expense. It is that world officialdom would much rather track us all around, so that if the detail of our movements might be useful to someone in authority one day, it will have been secured."
Quite so. Because security works best with the presumption of guilt rather than innocence.
