It's a wonder that the bent to breaking point populace does not kick up a few thousands terrorists every year. 60 + years after independence one has to just watch shivaji park on 6th Dec, to see the unbelievably pathetic conditions of our rural citizens. > this is a cause worth fighting for, freedom is a precious thing. Indeed. Lets make sure that the politicos and police dot pass laws that take away our freedom in the name of fighting terrorism. One often hears the need for a national ID. How exactly is this solving anything? The "hightech" biometric passports introduced in britian are easily spoofed. Besides it requires ALL states on earth to implement and sync their systems to be able to identify probable suspects. There are several dozen rogue states and several more which are ungoverned. a breach in any of these places is all it takes to compromise the system. All that such id solutions will achieve is making dissenters of the status quo easy targets of the state. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
