One man's goose is another man's made up excuse

You know, burglary is a serious problem. It costs people a great deal in money terms and also in other ways too. I'm sure all of you who have been burgled remember the feeling of having been violated. I'm sure the cost of burglary is very high indeed to the country in terms of higher insurance premiums, payouts, police time, court time, prison spaces, lost working hours. The list goes on I am sure.

Yet, somehow, regardless of these disadvantages to society of burglary the government has yet to enforce upon us the need to install burglar alarms and other such anti home invasion devices.

Yet the cost to UK society of identity theft seems to now be the predominant line of the government when trying to justify their ID card scheme.

Any port in a storm.
