Following is a brief excerpt from the -

"U.S. Department of Transportation" "National Highway Traffic Safety Administration"

"The Highway Safety Desk Book"

regarding digitized driver's license photos.

[snip]

The implications for law enforcement go far beyond these obvious benefits. With a central image database of every driver in a state, the public safety community has a ready-made storehouse of photos to be used in criminal investigations.....

Oregon already has this. (We seem to be an official beta test site for every draconian measure or propaganda campaign they want to implement on a national scale.) The digital licensing program hear was VERY expensive and full of cost over-runs. If your state legislature tells you it can be done inexpensivly or is a "cost cutting measure" they are lying their asses off. --- | "That'll make it hot for them!" - Guy Grand | |"The moral PGP Diffie taught Zimmermann unites all| Disclaimer: | | mankind free in one-key-steganography-privacy!" | Ignore the man | |`finger -l alano@teleport.com` for PGP 2.6.2 key | behind the keyboard.| | http://www.ctrl-alt-del.com/~alan/ |alan@ctrl-alt-del.com|
