The Passport office manages to "loose" over 5000 Passports a year, well they don't just disappear someone has them. There are also 1 million more NI numbers in use than people in the UK! Both these are suppossed to be unique. There is no chance that an id card will work, as usual law abiding citizens will suffer and criminals will get away with it. For example guns are illegal but the rise in gun crime demonstrates that they can still be obtained. I can't beleive criminals won't be able to obtain false id cards!
