When will the first ID theft occur from HMG ID card system by corrupt officials?

... that none of this will happen when the ID cards disaster goes live !

We do believe that don't we ?

Obviously(!) Any security breach from ID cards will have nothing to do with information being leaked, left unencrypted, placed in rubbish bins, left outside banks, left on trains or insecure offices, Lost usb keys or sniffed from envelopes by rfid readers. computer systems with default passwords...

None of those things could be to blame for id theft ... it will be the owner obviously not looking after the card properly (securely).
