If we gave it to EDS they probably wouldn't be efficient enough to give the criminals the right info - probably find they gave out the details of your next door neighbours hamster.
It seems the banks are part of the problem
Very dangerous

Are you sure about that? It is incredibly simple piece of engineering to allow different user rights so that people can only access what they should be able to? I severely doubt everyone with any access to the data has unrestricted access to the data?
I also severely doubt if this is done properly then it will be hacked. Other examples of large scale systems like this are the National Lottery and ATM machines.
Data in one place is dangerous but sometimes also incredibly useful. Things like UK Info Disc are becoming more popular (Electoral role cross referanced with phone book) which could be seen as quite dangerous tools. Still very useful for a lot of people. Could easily be misused though.
