A slight twitching of the corner of the upper lip seems to do the
trick these days. You know the rest.<g> Radio 4's Farming Today is
soliciting
for
comments on the SFP. Tempting, isn't it?

someone ought to ask the government how they expect to run an ID card
scheme when they cannot even get SFP right

Superficially an ID card scheme is much simpler than SFP: one person,
one card. With SFP there are all sorts of things involved.

It's an illusion of course.

At one time, they intended to have a dog ID scheme, with every dog micro-
chipped. I believe The Kennel Club talked them out of it. It simply would
not work.

I don't know much about the technology, but what happens if the ID card is
passed in close proximity to a magnetic field? De-gaussed? Will the owner
get a replacement for free or will he have to buy one? Oh, it will be such
fun!
