Tinfoil Wallets, anybody? :-)
When you get your driver's license, you should run a magnet over it to keep iron oxides from staining your wallet. And apparently you should now microwave it to clean those DMV-employee pathogens from it. Then it will be safe to carry, and you can see for yourself what it tells everyone else ---part of the definition of safety.

And rub that funny black and white smudge thing with nail polish remover -- looks like someone with wet nail polish was handling the card, and you don't want that smudge to cover up whatever was written under it.
