It's not that they never learn, it's that they don't care

Here we go again. According to the BBC:

A controversial database which holds the details of every child in England has now become available for childcare professionals to access.

Ahh, is this sort of like the one where they lost the banking details of every parent in the UK a year or two ago?

A report into the project by auditors Deloitte and Touche said it could never be totally secure. Last summer ministers delayed the database, admitting there were some "issues" identified in testing. It says 390,000 people will have access to the database, but will have gone through stringent security training.

Well I feel better hearing about that stringent training. As long as there are no security bugs in the database software or the computers they run on (presumably not running Windows) and none of those 390,000 people are crooked or stupid, the sensitive details of every child in the UK should be nice and secure.
