Passports Needed To Buy Mobile Phones
PASSPORTS will be needed to buy mobile phones:
Everyone who buys a mobile telephone will be forced to register their identity on a national database under government plans to extend massively the powers of state surveillance.
Phone buyers would have to present a passport or other official form of identification at the point of purchase. Privacy campaigners fear it marks the latest government move to create a surveillance society.
A compulsory national register for the owners of all 72m mobile phones in Britain would be part of a much bigger database to combat terrorism and crime.
Which makes buying a knock off one even more appealing…

For them that can not see a problem, “just think”.
Will this not put everyone who can legally get a phone in danger of being attacked by by the low life that can not.
This would put all children with a phone in danger, I can not think how anyone with a brain can think that this is acceptable.
The criminals will get their phones by any means that they can.
I wish that the politicians could tell the difference from fantasy and the real world after watching to much American TV.
We can only beat the terrorist by going about life as normal, not throwing useless restrictions at all law abiding people.

I cannot see any problem with this type of surveillance.
Only burglars, robbers, bombers and philanderer types need t be concerned about this type of surveillance.
And errrrrrrrr ……. Government Minister types and errrrrrr…… Judges - who call their illegal immigrant house-keeper up to ask them to put the casserole in the oven early.
