Biometric ID Cards Trialled in Glasgow

StuWho writes "The Register is reporting a trial of Biometric ID Cards in Glasgow, Scotland. The trial is one of several tests prior to the implimentation of a universal UK ID card. It also carries reports of how you can evade the sensors by doing something as simple as crying. 'It costs the UK 1.3 billion a year, and facilitates organised crime, illegal immigration, benefit fraud, illegal working and terrorism,' Home Office Minister Des Browne said. He then said that the ID card would fix all this, but did not say how. It's not only in the US where governments are using the excuse of terrorism to infringe on civil liberties."

In Glasgow, they should have CATHOLIC and PROTESTANT in big bold letters on the ID cards. Then the hoologans can look at each others cards and procede to murder each other. This will accelerate the process of Darwinistic selection and in a few more generations, Glasgow will be cured of its religious biggotry.
