That's true - I have been in situations where I have needed to use my IL
state ID, which has a mag strip/UPC code thing on the back that can be
scanned. When the scan didn't take, the clerk processing my check transaction
called a special toll-free phone number to bypass the automatic scan device.
Keep in mind that check purchases currently work like credit-card purchases
in many ways; the only way to thwart this system is to use cash all the time,
but that arouses suspicion when you make a large purchase, even if you earned
that cash in a legitimate job.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soap-boxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
