Home Office - more screw-ups, more feckwits, more excuses...
Just brilliant,
and what does the govt stooge say - they have an encrypted chip that will need encoding to use then.
OK then we are safe because you just know that terrorists and organised crime will not have access to the technology, software and talent to get the chips sorted. - Who are they kidding - only themselves.
Now if i was a cynic i might surmise that this is all part of the Labour plan to discredit passports and enforce a id card on us...
and the icing on the cake from the deputy leader of the ****-you-labour party stated that
But the deputy leader of the governing Labour Party did not think it "necessarily shows a sloppy attitude".
It is like reading the Daily Mash - LMFAO
Lets hope that this screw up does not lead to terrorists or more drugs/guns/scum getting into this countrty that the Home Office and Labour care so little about
Hijackers nab thousands of blank British passports - Yahoo! News UK
LONDON (AFP) - Hijackers made off with boxes of blank British passports worth a fortune on the black market in a raid on a delivery van, police said Tuesday.
Detectives said the 24 boxes of about 3,000 passports and visa documents, destined for British embassies around the world, were worth some 2.5 million pounds .
The theft occurred when the van driver stopped to buy a newspaper in Oldham, north Manchester.
The raider jumped in the van and assaulted a second delivery man in the passenger seat before speeding off onto an unmarked road.
The robber then ran off, and when the second delivery man felt safe enough, he checked the van and found that several boxes had been stolen.
"The actual value of the passports themselves is around 2.5 million pounds," said Detective Chief Inspector Bill McGreavy, adding that he had no significant information to suggest it was a targeted theft.
"The commodity stolen is unusual. Whether the commodity was the intended items I don't know," he said. "The offenders in this incident have not taken all the items from the van. They've not cleared the van out."
He said detectives were hunting at least two suspects. "The passenger has told us that both doors were opened simultaneously so I think there was a minimum of two offenders."
The van was being forensically examined, he added.
The passports were "very secure" as they contained a micro-chip which can be encrypted, he said.
Cabinet minister Harriet Harman, filling in while Prime Minister Gordon Brown is on holiday, called it a "serious crime".
But the deputy leader of the governing Labour Party did not think it "necessarily shows a sloppy attitude".

. Or one offender with long arms 
So if the passports are "very secure" and virtually useless, what makes them worth "2.5 million pounds". For 3000 passports thats near enough £1000/passport. You are joking. They are going to sell these to us for £100 each, what a bargain

I think this lot would find it difficult to tell the truth even if it profited them to do so! It is just not part of their mantra.
