Angus Marshall, a senior lecturer in forensic science at the University of Teesside, writes in the Yorkshire Post about ID Cards. After describing several well-known problems with the scheme, he makes this intriguing aside:

It would require a considerable number of volunteers, but we are convinced that anyone who is motivated enough would be able to carry out this attack on a national resource quite easily, potentially crippling the UK through an attack which causes no obvious physical damage or harm.
