Home Secretary to be cloned?

Guido Fawkes writes today that Jacqui Smith’s fingerprints have been taken away for analysis and potential copying:

Jacqui Smith gave a speech today at midday on ID cards to an audience invited by the Social Market Foundation, at the end of the event the glass she was drinking from during the Q & A was whisked away by a NO2ID sympathiser. This picture was taken this lunchtime – the glass is now undergoing a technical process at an undisclosed location. This will not only identify Big Jacqui’s fingerprints, it will allow them to create a plastic foil stamp that will enable anyone to leave her fingerprints behind.

Ok, so cloning a whole Home Secretary may yet be technically some way off. But wouldn’t it be handy to have a spare, in case the Home Office loses one?
