Pode o escritório Home justificar levantar custos do passport para £70 excedente ao gastar quase £100 milhão nos centros da entrevista que têm o efeito zero no fraud ou no terrorismo combatendo da identidade?
Os terroristas Convicted obtiveram e passports fraudulent usados como plotador do al-Qaida, Dhiren Barot, que planeou uma série dos ataques BRITÂNICOS que envolveram o uso “de uma bomba suja.
São as entrevistas do passport justas uma inconveniência necessária na guerra no terror - ou são “interrogação centram-se” que coletam dados pessoais em uma sociedade evergrowing do surveillance?

Relate do BBC
Os milhões das libras estão sendo desperdiçados em um esquema visado combatendo o fraud do passport, os conservadores disseram. O partido exprimiu seu interesse enquanto o BBC aprendeu que fora de 90.000 pretendentes dados entrevistas face-to-face compulsórias, nenhuns tinham sido girados para baixo.
As entrevistas para todos os pretendentes novos do passport foram introduzidas em abril 2007 como parte de um crackdown no fraud.
A identidade e o serviço do Passport disseram os povos deterred sistema da entrevista de fazer aplicações bogus.
Fraudsters aplica-se
O escritório Home estimou 10.000 passports tinha sido emitido na base da informação fraudulent o ano passado, metade deles que estão sendo dados aos pretendentes first-time.
Desde então a identidade e o Passport o serviço realizou quase 90.000 entrevistas com os pretendentes first-time no seu novo, rede do adulto da libra do multi-million dos centros.
Os centros custaram £50m ao jogo acima e ao £30m um o ano ao funcionamento.
Mas assim distante ninguém foi recusado um passport por causa de sua entrevista, que focaliza na informação tal como endereços e detalhes precedentes do banco, pequeno almoço de BBC aprendeu.
Aproximadamente £12.50 da taxa do passport £72 vai para pagar por estas entrevistas.
O ministro Damian do immigration da sombra verde disse que o processo da entrevista e suas cargas eram um desperdício de dinheiro.
“Cada grupo criminal, organizado endurecido e terrorista internacional não estão indo esta rota para começar seus passports britânicos falsificados, eles estarão fazendo [ele] outras maneiras.
“Um pedaço significativo do custo de um passport está indo agora nestas entrevistas, que assim distante estão provando ser completamente inúteis.”
Efeito Deterrent do `'
Mas Bernard Herdan, da identidade e do serviço do Passport (IPS), disse que a falta da recusa não era um sinal da falha.
“Eu sou satisfeito isto sou um programa muito bem sucedido,” disse.
O Sr. Herdan continuou: “Interviews and tough fraud prevention systems are designed to deter identity fraud and pick out fraudulent passport applications before interview. To claim interviews are not working misses the point.”
He said the fact of being asked to attend an interview deterred many potentially fraudulent applicants.
The IPS estimated there had been about 10,000 successful fraudulent passport applications last year and was “committed to reducing this number”, he added.
From 2010/11, citizens will be able to decide whether they want an identity card or a passport.
Both will contain fingerprint identification data.

Report from Kable’s Government Computing
The Home Office has confirmed that compulsory interviews for first time passport applicants have not led to a single rejected application
The face to face interviews, introduced in June 2007 as a precursor to the interviews intended for all applicants for identity cards, cost £50m to set up with an annual budget of £30m. They add around £12.50 to the £72 price of a passport.
Bernard Herden, executive director of the Identity and Passport Service, said the interviews were part of its work to deter and detect fraud. “This in particular is a deterrent factor,” he told BBC1’s Breakfast programme on 21 April 2008.
“People will have faded away and not come to us, because we’ve asked them things that show that we are on to them,” he added. “By the time we come to the interview, we wouldn’t expect many cases to be fraudulent.”
He added that the interviews will be better assessed in 12 months’ time, when a statistical analysis of their abilities as a deterrent will be available, and that 350 cases had been referred to its fraud unit of which some are ongoing.
The Home Office said that no passport applications had been refused from the 87,765 interviews held up to the end of March.
Conservative shadow immigration minister Damian Green told the BBC: “A significant chunk of the cost of a passport is now going on these interviews, which so far are proving to be completely useless.”

ReplyWell we already know this isn’t going to help. All that will happen is we will be forced to pay more, have more hassle getting one and give out our biometrics to store on a government database. Once they are on that database there will be no way to get them off it. So sitting back and saying wait and see is too little too late. The damage will already be done.

ReplyThe part of the article that caught my attention was ” People will be offered the choice of whether they want a passport or an identity card ” . While i agree that safety may be an issue this smackes too me of one way of bringing in identity cards through the back door ! .

I think the conclusion is a little of both. The government has to appear to be doing something about the terrorist threat and I suppose these methods have to be tried before they will know if it works.
If these centers are still in operation in 5 years without results then our safety is clearly not the agenda.
