People with counterfeit NJ driver's licenses are from every state and who knows how many counties. If terrorist were competent, then they would be using counterfeit drivers licenses to routinely fly planes everywhere. Maybe they are - because identity theft is that difficult to detect.

One need not ever been to NJ to have a counterfeit NJ driver's license. That's the point. Information on that license cannot be confirmed except by law enforcement and only if a crime is suspected - because America has no system so that you can verify and protect identity.

Driver's licenses were never intended to be proof of identity. Yet a MD girl had her good name used by a Bush twin to illegally buy alcohol across country - even with Secret Service agents right there as identity theft was happening directly before them. Identity theft is that easy.

There is no system to verify or protect identity AND there is no intention of creating a system. Current administration would spend $millions to create another layer of bureacracy - Office of Fatherland Security. It would spend $millions more to intrude further into your privacy. But administration lets any terrorist or criminal steal anyone's identity - by complete inaction.
