UK Phone Buyers: Must Show Passport & Register In National Database
It appears that the UK is really moving towards a total surveillance state. Along with plans that we’ve already discussed to monitor all communications, it appears that you may not be able to buy a mobile phone without a passport and without registering your information in a national database. The reasoning, not surprisingly, is to try to keep tabs on terrorists who have been using prepaid phones that can’t be traced easily back to their owners. Of course, what this really will do is create a much bigger nuisance for most (non-terrorist) residents, opening up potential privacy breaches all while doing almost nothing to slow down terrorist activity. That’s because it won’t be that difficult for terrorists to find other means of communication that don’t require registration. It’s really a shame to see countries give up the freedoms that made them great.
