BBC NEWS | Politics | ID card plans 'badly thought out'

I still fail to see how mandatory ID cards will stop terrorists. What purpose do they serve other than for the government to keep track of your every move? Are foreign tourists going to be issued a temporary one to track them during their visits? Weren't the 9/11 hijackers foreign? Having an ID card wouldn't have stopped them.

I know this is being considered in the US also but I still have to ask why?
