Hmm, seems my DL is already out of date. WI is switching to a new
form of barcode:http://www.dot.state.wi.us/dmv/digital.html > License back contains information and new 2-D bar code > > The fee paid for the product is indicated > on the top of the card. The > two-dimensional bar code on the back of > the document is coded with information > from the front side of the card. The 2-D > Bar Code is more durable and secure than > the previously used magnetic stripe. The > anatomical Gift Statement is covered with > a special ink-permeable plastic which > allows customers to write on this portion > of the card. > Looks like other states are doing the same thing. So much for erasing the mag strip. But I suppose it would be fairly easy to paint something over the barcode like some plastic disolving solvent, making it unreadable. -- Harmon Seaver, MLIS CyberShamanix Work 920-203-9633 Home 920-233-5820 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cybershamanix.com/resume.html
