I'm old enough to remember a time when this would have been a scandal. The first driver's license I got from the State of Michigan was just a piece of cardboard filled out with a typewriter and signed in ink. Now they have a digital image of my face and my digital signature and both a magnetic stripe and a bar code. Soon they'll have my retinal pattern and DNA. It'll all be databased and cross referenced. Birth records, school records, employment and health records, credit history, web surfing patterns, material downloaded, books checked out of the library, sexual proclivities. Make a mistake when you're young and you'll be "listed" forever. Sam Ewalt Croswell, Michigan, USA -- Arachne V1.70;rev.3, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
