Yes, but I can also see why its a bad idea to put somebody's VIN on the Net... A clever terrorist would simply plant peices of metal with some other loser's VIN's in their car before blowing up a building, (i.e. my name's McVeigh (sp?), and this rider truck came from Oregon ;)... see my point?
A clever terrorist could get the CD and do the same thing :) They're clever, right?
Yes, well, true, but my point was that not _all_ of that information should be available AT ALL.
I do think that some information could be allowed (what your tag says, your name, your mailing address), but what was put on he net was excesive.
That's a function of what information the State decides to make availble. The fact that it's on the Net or not shoudln't be the issue. If I can buy it on a CD or march into a State office and get it, the same potential harms exist.
I persoannly think this info is a privacy threat. But if it's legal to distribute in other forums, the Net should be no different, IMHO. All Net terrorist hype aside.
I agree. If its available, the net is as good a medium as any. --Deviant You know you've been spending too much time on the computer when your friend misdates a check, and you suggest adding a "++" to fix it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQEVAwUBMgt+1DAJap8fyDMVAQHctQf+Mg3pI74FLc9VzfeZoLDUU0DLzM0UYKg/ 7G1HVUXPOS3CRuc40vUTx+1LO/6uGyfDUvZeW/tGEOP0tKAJ9jWZZbrbvs3XBl+G +HPu7f4rJcsLqRLEVW8wGbJ+Z15RjtrJaB/A/QUxFwmz8y6b8XN1uAAb1Myh2fiT XMwHW6L+dGsMIKZpAf018kdktlSLsgY4lkgcMb1b6utZkonX5POSw7DCmThOmFNp gSaL5eKmLRHpYI2SAL48sAXvPD3Yg397/3bApIi7X2EzAlfEttg0lYlt2IMIKNsi R+Zovv+npr/uqU4mTfwCgshHMQTXfMaXeKz8S55nQt1Tsvc6ZOIPPA== =Q2OD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
