National e-ID system, including a biometric enrolment for all citizens and residents

sort of an interesting quotes for america but the way british government is going could be easily for here as well


An intriguing, and slightly concerning, job ad has appeared on freelancing website People Per Hour, entitled: "URGENT!!! Delivery of a National e-ID System".

The post is from an unidentified small IT consultancy which is submitting a bid to deliver a National e-ID system, including a biometric enrolment for all citizens and residents above the age of five years*, for a population coverage of approximately 4 million people.

The advert did not state which country the system is for, but from the spelling it reads as if it has been posted by an US outfit.

It states: "I am working to extremely tight deadlines so will need you/your company to urgently provide these details. You will need to sign a non-disclosure document," it said.

It seems its back to 2004, with this ID card scheme. I dare say someone will make money out of these cards and selling off personal data?
