ID cards - who benefits

As it should.

You're either trolling or pissed off cos you can't gas jewish and gypsy babies anymore.

When was he last allowed to gas babies, jewish, gypsy or otherwise?

Indeed. And the pass laws will then be complete

No, we can take it that you are such a jerk that you didn't bother to see what issue was being addressed.

It was correctly stated that in France and other Continental countries residents have to register with the police or be subject to prosecution.

I suppose in your country everybody obeys every law. And that you never cheat on any law, least of all the tax law...

You are a total jerk.

Spherical round objects.

AIUI, an ID card will not be given to people who are only temporary resident here, and you won't be entitled to one unless you have been here 3 months. That probably covers 90% of terrorists.

Any self respecting terrorist is simply going to tell PC plod when stopped, 'awfully sorry me old china, I'm only here as a visitor, that's why I haven't got an ID card'.

You really couldn't make it up.

You are a very silly, sad old man.

I suspect you are an east german refugee ex stasi.

And how would that help? How are they going to validate that someone from another country are who they say they are? And if they dont have any previous ("you're OK, haven't flown any planes into skyscrapers according to our records") how would it help anyway?

And of course the country that suffered the greatest terrorist attack of all time, Sep 11, is *not* proposing to introduce biometric ID cards for its citizens.
