摘要

More than 200 million Americans carry driver's licenses with them every day. The small plastic cards denote the holders' right to operate a motor vehicle. But that rather understates things. Today, all manner of business establishments, from banks to airlines to bars, will deny you service if you do not show them your driver's license. In other words, driver's licenses have become the de facto identity cards of the United States. Now the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, a kind of trade organization for the state motor vehicle registries, wants to make things official. This past January the association asked Congress for $100 million to link all of the state motor vehicle databases into a single national system, overhaul licensing procedures and phase in a new generation of high-tech cards. If this proposal goes through, driver's licenses issued in two years will almost certainly be high-tech, biometric-endowed cards for the absolute identification of the cardholder.
