DMVs have been selling personal info for years....add a little technology and it becomes that much more powerful.

Last I heard the ID bill was subject to lots of criticism as the cost of the federally mandated changes would be on the shoulders of the states and the "consumer".

FWIW, In NJ one can renew their license by mail or internet and go for ever w/o a photo. Many, many residents take advantage of this process. I can't imagine everyone being required to show up to an already overburdened system.
