Blunkett is not amused...

Letter to editor (from Blunkett)
Re: Blunkett's biometrics
Date: 12 May 2003

Sir - I was entertained by Wednesday's leading article (leader, May 7), which managed to cobble together critical comment about secure passports using biometric technology with laments about state bureaucracy.

Here is a "free country", "free enterprise" newspaper failing to address the consequences of what free-thinking America is about to do, namely introduce biometric-based entry requirements that will make free entry to that country very difficult for people whose countries do not follow suit.
