Not really. I saw the same story. The name, address, age, & height mentioned are already obvious on licenses, but this may preclude incorrect data entry by FL cops, and counterfeiting (a problem here for *years*). I saw nothing on the digitized photo, but we could be looking at different stories. Phase-in in July, '96. The story I saw suggests that other data, such as tickets, criminal violations (presumably convictions) and "other biographical information" [welfare, credit info] could eventually be included, depending on FL's state budgetary considerations. No author, just "Associated Press," listed on the story, and the card uses a magnetic strip "like those on credit cards" rather than a chip, which may be a mistake [considering the renewal period & my experience with bank-cards]. Story doesn't say it, but it sounds like FL *may* be the first state to do this. Are any other states doing this already?
Texas is now issuing similar cards - with the addition of a barcode on the back. Front is going to have UV-reactive writing, and be color-coded for class of license (commercial, chauffer, etc). Happily, I renewed just a couple months ago, so have plenty of time to figure out what I can do to the new DL when I get one :-) Dave Merriman This is a test (3 UUE lines) of the unconstitutional ITAR - 1/713th of the PGP executable.
