The same has been done even in PA for many years now. Actually we have a big problem in this country. Anyone can pass for you because we don't have a national ID database. It makes it so easy for others to steal your identity, max out credit cards in your name, live off of your credit rating, even travel the world on a passport with your name on it. That is scary - that anyone can pass as you because we have no national ID network to protect your identity and reputation.
