....this part of his statement caught my eye, as well.
"The bill establishes a huge, central database of highly personal information about American citizens: at a minimum their name, date of birth, place of residence, social security number and other sensitive data."
First of all, it does not " a huge central database". It only states that "To be eligible to receive any grant or other type of financial assistance made available under this title", the individual states must allow the other states to link to the state's driver's license infomation databases already in existence and that those databases must contain at least
"(1) All data fields printed on drivers' licenses and identification cards issued by the State.
(2) Motor vehicle drivers' histories, including motor vehicle violations, suspensions, and points on licenses.
THAT'S IT!! So the very basic information that's shown on the driver's license that I have to show if I want to write a check at the drug store might be shared with the Department of Motor Vehicles of another state. What the heck is so "sensitive" or "highly personal" about my name, address, DOB, and license number? Nothing.
