There have already been 'serious security breaches' in the database that will be used for the National ID Database when (and if) the ill-conceived scheme finally rolls out.

Routine checks have found security breaches by staff at 30 local authorities who looked things up on the database "with no business justification". Chances are those routine checks won't have found all of the breaches.

And this thing is meant to make us more secure?

ETA: Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] yvonneh for passing this on!
