Be afraid. Be very afraid. The company in question are EDS, and they're
almost certainly going to be the folk who get to implement the database
behind the new ID card....


No need for fear at all, then.

EDS are notorious for designing computer systems that don't work, as anyone
in the Revenue, the DWP, and many other government departments will tell
you.

10 years after ID cards are supposed to be introduced, look forward to the
government minister explaining shamefacedly that in spite of spending £9000
million on developing the system, there are still teething troubles that
mean that no ID cards have actually been issued...

It's a sad state of affairs that companies can make more money by leeching off the government with bad projects than it can by actually delivering on their promises.
