Yes, but the post above was saying that the English electorate is particularly docile to surveillance - I have seen nothing to indicate there is a difference between the Scottish and English in that respect. Where are the protests in Edinburgh and Glasgow indicating this upswell of opposition? I'd definitely be glad to see them.

It's possible that the SNP have different attitudes, which they would bring with them into independence, but they have not taken a public stand on the issue, and of course they have no track record either way because the devolved government does not have power in that area.

Also worth noting that the Vetting and Barring Scheme was established in 2002 and the Identity Card Act was from 2006 whereas the SNP only took office for the first time in 2007.

While this is true, I think the OP was making the point that Labour would not have got in to Westminster (or certainly not have had so long in government) without the Scottish vote, and the Labour government in Westminster until 2010 was certainly backed by the scots.
