The truth is that
The truth is that ID cards did not stop the Spanish train bombs, and even the 9/11 bombers had their papers in order. The US has ruled out ID cards because they don’t work. What stops both terrorists and criminals is good intelligence and effective investigation – and that takes a lot more police. What protects Britain’s borders is not costly ID cards for law-abiding British citizens, but a strong UK Border Force detecting illegal entry and criminal activity.
