The Times of India is reporting tonight that several simultaneous terrorist attacks in Mumbai have left 80 dead and 900 wounded.
As the extent of the horror unfolding in Mumbai begins to filter through to our screens, one fact stands our starkly.
These terrorists were looking for international attention, and in order to do that they were targeting British and American nationals.
Whilst terrorism is in itself heinous, and we feel for the families of those who have died tonight, the fact that they were looking for certain nationals is very worrying, and if ever there was a reason why a British national should never, ever carry an RFID enabled Passport or ID Card around with them, this has to be it.
It would not have been beyond the realms of possibility that these people could so easily have carried an RFID reader with them, enabling them to single out the nationality of their choice.
Don't believe its possible?, then read this. If the DHS can do it, if the UK Border police can do it, then so can terrorists. If I can see this, then you can be sure that terrorists can too.
Far from making you safe from terrorists, ID Cards endanger your life.
Say NO to ID Cards, Say NO to the Database State.
The

is the only party that has promised to put an end to these databases,
ID Cards, the NIR, the NDNAD and NPfIT in particular, and ending the
Politics of
Fear by repealing many of the draconian laws enacted over the past
10
years.
