Reply #6: Great followup article, I do understand the other side of the coin.

IMHO, the money line in that article is:

"A driver's license used to be pretty good but it doesn't mean that much anymore"

That more or less confirms my original assertion that the problem is not so much the fingerprinting, but the lack of an state issued ID/Drivers license that's difficult to forge.

The fingerprinting is a local reactionary approach to the problem, where it should be pro-actively addressed at the state level.

Oops, sorry, Wisconsin's legislature is too busy working on protecting the sanctity of marriage and a tax payers bill of rights which only addresses taxes and not spending. But that's a topic for another thread...
