  The FIA is great but I suspect access will be limited so the government cannot be embarrassed in any way.
  
  In the last 3 months of 2004 (just before the FIA became law) Whitehall reported unprecedented number of documents being destroyed. I wonder what they have to hide... :chin:
  
  Still, it is a good thing to have and a lot of interesting stuff has been unearthed in the US over the years...

  In leicester (possibly nation wide?) we have a 6-month trial where everything is free because normally there's an administration cost, postage cost, etc etc
  
  I haven't used it yet, though I'm a bit tempted to ask the local authorities to disclose all the information they have on me (though it does say, no personal information? )
