don't tell me you're going to trust 50,000 USA webmasters (and a few of these guys are the biggest scum of the earth) to be safe repositories for confidential ID information.

imagine this scenario:

an arab looking girl wants to be a suicide bomber. all she needs to do is clone a girl's ID, get some facial prothesis and makeup, get a phony passport, etc, all with the basic information she can get from hacking into (or buying online) model 2257 IDs. i mean what a database for scam artists---mostly young healthy people aged 18-30. for crissake many producers require models to give up SS#s. she can very easily obtain this information given the new 2257 disclosure requirements.

and don't tell me it won't be done.

next you have the ID credit file thieves---for crissake this is a goldmine for them.

VERY POORLY THOUGHT OUT IDEA in an age of international terrorism and identity theft for financial gain.
