Now, having said that. Why do we have fake ID internet companies such as this one here who are out in the open and in operation whose sole job is to produce FAKE ID so underage kids can illegally get into bars when they are under 21 years of age? And help with the illegal immigration problem, too?
Including Massachussetts? Along with 49 other states?

Yet in 2004 Massachusetts came up with the first-in-the-nation-tamper-resistant driver's licenses.
Governor Mitt Romney today unveiled first-in-the-nation, tamper-resistant Massachusetts driver’s licenses that will help curb identity theft and mark the start of an effort to introduce new procedures that will make it harder for terrorists to operate.
"In Massachusetts, a license to drive shouldn’t become a license to steal or commit mayhem," Romney said. The new licenses and identification cards, which will be introduced November 1, contain a host of security features to reduce fraud. One of the most noticeable changes is a hologram-like Kinegram® security feature at the center of the license, which displays unique characteristics when it is shifted or viewed from various angles.
But the governor misses the boat when fake state ID's can be reproduced without much efforts, supposedly so, when internet fake ID companies are becoming a bit more sophisticated in the reproduction of holgraphic IDs as technology continues to improve...for the law breakers.
Being a former certified bartender of long ago, I find the actions of these fake ID internet companies highly repugnant who offer their services to people who want to break the law and put bartenders and bars in legal jeopardy for serving alcoholic drinks to minors! Not only that. Underage kids have the increased propensity to get drunk and get behind the wheel of a car where nearly a third of the 42,000 people killed annually in car accidents were related to drunk driving.
Now, suppose the Puzzles gay bar killer didn't have his FAKE ID or was turned away at the door, would he still push his way through to do the killing? Or did the alcohol take effect by embolding him to go on a killing spree? What people do not understand is that underage drinking takes time and efforts away from police officers seeking to enforce the underage drinking laws.

Underage drinking, domestic violence, unwanted guests, pedestrian accidents, car crashes and motor vehicle fatalities not only takes up our time on the street, they take us off the street as well. While the average officer may react and respond to these calls, preventing them from occurring takes a lot less time and effort.
Then why do we have these internet FAKE ID companies when the law clearly states that fake state IDs are illegal to have or make? Fake IDs also contribute to the illegal immigration problem as well. Even Minnesota isn't blind to this including how one can easily produce counterfeit military ID! When will this insanity stop?
Perhaps biometric is the answer?
