Man, the paranoid crazies keep coming. 7-11 has been doing this for awhile for alcohol and tobacco purchases, why does Target matter? All they're doing is elminating the human error when checking your DOB and elminating any potentially fake IDs. But obviously the government is traking everything we do...

Exactly... Sometimes it seems like people just don't have enough to gripe about so they find anything they can lol.

The bar code just has the same information as on the front of the license.

That's why they stopped using our SS# as our DL#. The only thing the DL# is used for is, well I don't know what it's used for besides our DL.

Well ... for one thing apparently Target is attempting to assimilate us ... It's not that hard to tie a driver license number to a SSN these days. Danged computers ... I can tell them my birthday. They don't need the rest of the information that is on my DL.

Oh hey ... is the tin foil lining in my hat showing ... danggit ... lol

You just wait, when yukonjack gets back he's gonna tell us all how the social security number is the mark of the beast.

Wait ... it's NOT?!?!?! **sigh** Next you're gonna tell me the Mayans got it all wrong too ... sheesh ...

This is easy information to get if you would like to see what they get from the bar code on your DL check out the following link. A trash can diver can gain the same information about you. LINK

I think if you're shopping at Target then you've already been assimilated.

Back when I worked retail, in 1998, in Oklahoma, I could swipe TX licenses in our point of sale software to get the info into our computers. This was for applications for the store credit card, or for check verification.

Again, it's simply getting the information off the magnetic strip or bar code, not accessing some off-site database. When I worked there, it only stored the same information that most retailers already hand-wrote onto checks (name, DOB, DL number and state).

Barcodes are nothing special, you can even download a font that will type it out for you. We use them all the time here in the office. Additionally, magnetic stripes are no different, its the same information encoded into magnetic ones and zeros. I've even taken my various cards and run them through MSRs just to see what was written on them. Not hard folks.
