ID List, Tacky Tokens Fail.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
 
Below is the very preliminary list of state driver's license high tech 
methods information I have collected so far.
 
Thanks to all who contributed.
 
Note that "credit card" type driver's licenses are hard plastic cards 
without clear lamination.  This typically indicates a higher tech 
process.
 
Notes, suggestion, updates, and corrections are very welcome.
 
I'll note that no one seemed interested in paying tacky tokens for the 
list.

	Ok.. now how about JPGs of every license in the civilized world?
Personal information can be airbrushed out.  Holograms may be tricky..
maybe it'll look ok.. just for reference of course.

	Ok.. I'll pay 50 Tacky Tokens for the list..   we'll work
something out.  TTFN..
