"The UK's plans for biometric identity cards are a waste of money, one of the world's leading experts on computer security said. In an interview Bruce Schneier, security author and chief technology officer of internet security group Counterpane, said the programme could do more harm than good. 'ID cards are a waste of money. The amount of good they will do is not nearly worth the cost. They will not reduce crime, fraud or illegal immigration,' he said. The adoption of ID cards would encourage criminals to attempt forgeries, he said, potentially exacerbating crime rather than reducing it."
