Ex MI5 chief critical of ID cards

Dame Stella Rimington, a previous MI5 chief, has said: "I don't think anybody in the intelligence services - not in my former service - will be pressing for ID cards" because they will not make the country any safer. It's not particularly surprising that she believes this. Any competent security professional will tell you the same thing. The government will not be pleased she's prepared to make her views public though.
