License to Hide: Security Implications of America's Lax Driver's Licensing Laws
Overview Fraudulent and falsified state driver's licenses remain easy to obtain and produce, despite the fact that these licenses are by far the most commonly used means for identifying people in the United States. As a result, major security programs such as the No Fly List, Terrorist Watch Lists, and, of course, airline passenger screening, are largely blinded because unreliable documents issued by the fifty states and the District of Columbia for non-security related purposes, for which a low level of reliability suffices, are now used for security purposes. The data presented in this report shows that many states continue to follow lax procedures.
