Gwent police managed to copy a Reg journalist into their distribution list for a spreadsheet of CRB checks - and the Register has an article worth reading on the implications. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/04/18/gwent_crb_comment/ Their concluding remarks seem , to me, to sum up the problem.. ".. there’s a monster here that won’t be tamed without a revolution/revelation in government IT planning, design, security and privacy awareness. They’re invading our privacy industrially, systemically and on the cheap via ill-conceived and ineffectual checking regimes, then blaming operator error and carrying on regardless. They should stop building this stuff until they’ve learned how to control it. Or preferably, they should stop building this stuff. ®" -- Mary Hawking
