Security Holes at DMVs Nationwide Lead to ID Theft and Safety Concerns

Well isn't THIS special? You're forced to go to the DMV and put up with a ton of bulloney at the hands of people with the customer service skills of Microsoft, and then you find your identity has been taken by a family of space aliens. Whooppee

CDT has issued a report entitled "Unlicensed Fraud" documenting rampant internal fraud and lax security at state motor vehicle administration offices across the country placing the reliability of all driver's license at risk. While heavy public attention has been placed on new national standards and new technologies for driver's licenses, studying local news reports from throughout 2003 CDT finds that basic management processes to stop bribery and theft are lacking. In the report, CDT offers policy recommendations to address this dire issue. February 2, 2004 [Center for Democracy and Technology]
