I must admit, I find it quite disturbing that a US military contractor, with a more than dubious record for human rights violations, was given the multi million pound task of collecting information about the citizens of the United Kingdom. Lockheed Martin have been involved in a number of cases relating to torture and abuse of detainees during interrogations. Is this the kind of company you want to give sensitive information about yourself to?

In days gone by people would have been less reluctant to give information, but nowadays, with the amount of identity theft, and the utter incompetence displayed by government bodies, including the MOD when handling so called private data on the country, I can understand why people are less than enthusiastic to be asked to fill out and hand over nice compact personal profile for a government database.
