At one of my old jobs, the web admin passwords were our scanned licenses. We used a CueCat thing, free from RadioShack at the time. It's obviously not the most secure way, but it was really fun and people were always saying how cool it was!!!

Anyway, I have worked with magnetic card readers using Java, and it really was not a hard task to do, with Smart Cards and credit cards anyway. You can pick up the readers for about 80 dollars or so, at least you could about 8 months ago, the last time I worked with them. I would contact the vendor to make sure that it will read a drivers license, though. A good place to start would be http://www.javapos.com/index.html If you can use the smart card readers, there are a few java and C products out there that can get you on your way. Check out the Javapos site, thanks Sun!, for some really good information to start with. Thanks!
