The UK prepares to test drive their new system of ID cards containing facial dimensions, an iris scan or fingerprints with a pilot program of volunteers.
From BBC NEWS, "Trials of identity cards are to be launched next week, the BBC has learnt. The pilot will involve 10,000 volunteers and be run from the Passport Office in London and three other centres around Britain.
The government hopes the pilot scheme will pave the way for compulsory identity cards for everyone within the next decade.
Ministers are due to set out details of plans for a nationwide identity database on Monday."
