CDR: Re: Bush took ss# off his Texas license!!!

Then someone in tx.politics was wrong (and I passed it along). But now I'm confused (no cracks please): why change your driver's license number if it doesn't mean anything special? He did change it.

Because legal records, at least with relation to Tx, are indexed according to Tx DL#. Warrants for example are issued against DL# and not just SS#. During a criminal records search in Tx. you'll never be asked for a SS#. They're also public record so somebody may want to make finding info harder. Security through obscurity I'd guess. ____________________________________________________________________ He is able who thinks he is able. Buddha The Armadillo Group ,::////;::-.
