Tony's Message from the Gods

Iris is one of the messengers of the gods. Project Iris is a UK border biometric control system. Make that a failed UK border biometric control system:

An evaluation of the Home Office scheme to operate border controls via iris recognition "pretty much fails" Project Iris, according to Tory MP Ben Wallace. Wallace has been doggedly pursuing the results of the evaluation since autumn 2005, and these were quietly placed in the House of Commons library in late December. They reveal, according to Wallace, that Project Iris "failed half its assessments."

I think there's a message here for Tone and his ID card, one of whose utterly foolproof biometric control systems was, er, iris recognition.
