Saying that I can't hear someone is no novelty, being on the (18
month)
waiting list to see someone about my hearing :-)


Just think of all the hearing specialist the estimated cost of ID
cards would fund and how many operations it would fund, whilst any ID
card system will not stop someone blowing to bits if you happen to be
in the wrong place at the wrong time when they detonate themselves....
