Can we trust Government over ID cards?我們可以信任的政府的身份證？
The loss of two computer discs containing the personal and banking details of 25 million people has inevitably cast fresh doubts over the Government’s plans to make us all have identity cards. 損失的兩個電腦光碟載有個人和銀行的詳細資料2500萬人已無可避免地投食懷疑政府的計劃，以使我們都有身份證。 There is good reason for these concerns. 有很好的理由為這些關切。
If the Government cannot be trusted to safeguard the sensitive information contained on the lost discs can it be trusted to look after a national identity register which would contain a wealth of useful information for criminals and terrorists.如果政府不能信任，以保障敏感的資料，載於失落的光碟可以信任的研究後，一個國家的身份登記，其中將包含了豐富的有用的資料，讓罪犯和恐怖分子。 Ministers will no doubt assure us that the system for protecting the data on the national identity register will be so robust that we need have no fears.部長們將毫無疑問向我們保證，該系統保護數據對國民身份的認同選民登記冊會這麼強勁，我們需要沒有恐懼。 A few weeks ago, however, they probably would have said the same about the information provided by child benefit claimants - the information which has now gone astray.幾個星期前，不過，他們也許會說同樣的約所提供的資料，兒童福利金的索賠-信息現在已誤入歧途。
There is a fundamental point here.有一個根本出發點，在這裡。 We live in a society where the Government and other authorities are entrusted with more and more information about us.我們生活在一個社會裡，政府和其他主管部門委託，與越來越多的信息關於我們。 We are under almost constant surveillance from a battery of CCTV cameras in every town and city.我們現正根據幾乎不斷的監視，從電池的閉路電視攝影機，在每一個城市和城市。 The police have a growing database of people’s DNA profiles, many of whom have not been convicted of any crime.警方有越來越多的數據庫，人們的DNA紋印，其中許多人沒有被定罪的任何罪行。 ID cards will shortly mean that even more information will be stored about us.身份證，將在短期內意味著即使更多信息將被存儲關於我們。
All of this sensitive data is held on trust. 所有這一切敏感的數據，是日舉行的信任。 We have no idea whether Governments in the future might misuse this information or, more likely, simply mislay it in a similar blunder to the one we have witnessed this week. 我們不知道政府是否在未來可能濫用這方面的資料，或更可能，只要mislay它在一個類似的失誤，向一，我們目睹了這個星期。
This error should give us all pause for thought, particularly over the issue of ID cards.這個錯誤應該給我們所有停下來思考，特別是問題的身份證。 Are we really happy to have yet more data stored about us?我們真的很高興有，但更多的數據儲存關於我們呢？ Will it really make us more secure, as the Government claims, or more vulnerable?將它真的使我們更安全，作為政府索賠，或更容易呢？ It is difficult not to feel a sense of deep unease about the further cataloguing of the entire population.這是很難不感覺深的不安，關於進一步編目的整個人口。
