Since I\u2019m a pretty stable individual and haven\u2019t changed addresses or phone numbers for at least a decade It\u2019s highly likely whatever information associating my Driver\u2019s license and phone would give the state or Federal government will be redundant.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the TSA check in, potentially a bar with reader technology carding me, (<i>I\u2019d be so overjoyed at being carded at my age I\u2019d probably have a heart attack,<\/i>) there is one other oblique reference I\u2019ve seen and I don\u2019t know what they\u2019re meaning.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the literature makes reference to age verifications on websites and as required for purchases. This implies to me that the data might be requested by certain sites. This would negate having to make a photo copy of your Driver\u2019s license then email it to someone you don\u2019t know. I\u2019ve always hated having to assume that they\u2019re going to handle the data properly and delete the copy of the driver\u2019s license when it&#8217;s no longer necessary. The implication is that somehow the relevant data only, will be presented to the requestor thereby minimizing security risks.<\/p>\n<p>I have a real problem when medical facilities, or insurance companies, or banks make copies of my social security card and driver\u2019s license. I\u2019ve said often to these people their procedure is just begging for fraud and id theft. In recent years a number of medical office breaches have proven my point.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible that the digital ID could curb or at least add a stumbling block to ID theft and I\u2019m all for that.<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea what sites they\u2019re talking about. I\u2019ll perhaps try looking at an adult site first.<\/p>\n<p>Funny thing about adult sites, is that their security is pretty damn impressive and they are also among the first folks to adopt new technology.<\/p>\n<p>My adoption of this technology may, (likely will,) result in nothing much different in my daily, weekly, or even yearly life. It might be that until a substantial number of states adopt the technology it will largely be a nothing burger.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, should I leave California, there are very few states that have adopted the technology that I\u2019d choose to move to.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the current list, Ohio? They don\u2019t have a lot of favorable policies towards retired folks. So it\u2019s likely that I\u2019ll have it, then lose it.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe Arizona? That would depend on where. Phoenix is right out. Flagstaff? Wilson? I\u2019m not 100% convinced, but trying to keep an open mind.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Update: Apologies! \u00a0I just found out that Auto correct isn\u2019t working in the Title Field in my blogging application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once they become available, I\u2019m going to go ahead and load it.
