UK Government Launches 'Charm Offensive' to Promote ID Cards
British ministers are being sent on a "charm offensive" tour to educate the public about the technology behind planned ID cards, the Home Office has said. Home Office minister Andy Burnham opens the seven-date "biometric roadshow" tour at Manchester airport on Monday. He hopes the tour will help persuade people identity cards would protect their "personal data and privacy."
