A more important question seems to be "what problem do you think this will solve?". That is the way to approach the problem when writing to your MP. If you come across as being a paranoid nutcase you will be ignored. Mr. Schneieieier's latest Cryptogram contains a goodly amount on ID cards, if anyone doesn't subscribe, I think you can get it from his site <http://www.counterpane.com>, and failing that, mail me off-list and I'll forward it to you. -- David Cantrell | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david There is no sigmonster
