"Campaign group Big Brother Watch is not impressed with the new practice. "Not only is it ridiculous from a security point of view, it's an affront to the basic rights of people to be able to live their lives in private," said the group's Nick Pickles."

What an idiot. I dont see any more breach of personal details doing it this way, than showing other forms of ID. It's not as if the security dude is going to check the photo albums or timeline or anything. But if it's done often, people with just set up fake FB accounts.

And it's not an affront to peoples ability "to live their lives in private"... if they want to live their life in private, stay in private! Don't go to a club full of "the public" where entrance is a priviledge, not a right!

Anyway with a name like Nick Pickles what would you expect, haha, probably been bullied all his life so now he makes up for it by complaining about trivial matters as an adult.
