ID: outstanding questions on The Benighted Scheme

I dont really get this. An eyewitness made a contempory note of Meg Hillier telling the Home Affairs Select cttee

The National Identity Register, essentially, will be a secure database; ...hack-proof, not connected to the Internet...not be accessible online; any links with any other agency will be down encrypted links.

I understand the officials present were passing notes to try to get her back on message. What appears in the official record is is

The National Identity Register, essentially, will be a secure database; it will not be accessible online; any links with any other agency will
be down encrypted links.

Why ws that toned down? If it’s not accessible online what is the use of it? Will people have to send CDs to each other? But if it is linked live to other agencies isnt that online?

Also, now we’re procuring the damn thing, do we know what will be on the card? Do we know how people authenticate the card, and what they can check?

I suspect it’s too much to try to get answers to all these questions. What would be really great is if we could get a list of all the outstanding questions about how the Benighted Scheme is supposed to work. Vey glad of any help and thoughts. Delighted to get contributions and clarifications form our loyal readers inside IPS.

Ideal Government

Let's say what we want from e-enabled government. Let's observe government first-hand. Let's say "Wouldn't It Be Better If" (WIBBI). Become an ethnographer of bureaucracy today! It beats getting frustrated with public services.
