• Clearly Baker does not "understand"
  Regardless of the rules they enact, the information is not and will not be secure. The agrivation of digging up my social security card and birth certificate each time I need to do business with the BMV only reminds me that dinosaur department does not keep my records. Great. I don't have to concern myself with them shredding photocopies, or someone hacking their security system. More realisticly, I don't need to worry my mind with a BMV employee skimming my information along with the batch of 1,000 other people. Or even a BMV employee from the other end of the country.
  When I lived in MS, people broke into the local office, stealing the computers, printers and DL blanks. Why go through the hassle of building a good fake when you can just steal the real equipment and make great fakes? I read Homeland Securities rules. They don't help. If a criminal wants the materials to make these IDs. They will get it.
  The same holds true for builders of meth labs. If they want it, they will get it. There has been a rash of armed robberies in Columbus lately. Most in busy merchants at the height of shopping hours. Hmmmm, let meth lab builders use fake ID to buy over-the-counter drugs, then build meth labs. OR let meth lab builders gun down several bystanders to steal over-the-counter drugs, then build meth labs. Either way, they built thier lab.
  Locks (and IDs) were made to keep honest people honest. In reply to: "DHS: Real ID could help shut down meth labs"
