Fool me once…

The Identity and Passport Service has rather a handy contact form for members of the public to ask questions about the planned ID card scheme (and I do mean scheme).
I used it to submit a query[1] on September 29.
They responded today - to the wrong email address. (The usual .co.uk as opposed to .com thing.)
This is the text of my follow-up query:
You responded to my last enquiry to the wrong email address. If you can’t even get someone’s email address correct when they’ve typed it in a box for you, how do you reasonably expect to be able to run a National Identity Register successfully?
I’m not expecting a response.

[1] I was wondering whether there’ll be some sort of security procedures put in place to detect fraudulent attempts by an individual to register twice with the same biometrics, and how that will affect those who legitimately need a new identiy (eg people in witness protection schemes, members of the intelligence services). “Special arrangements” will be made, apparently. I bet they work…
