Cows ... identity ... theft
Just happened to see this old news article mentioned on Bruce Schneier's blog... Photo ID cards for Indian cattle:
Nice to see some improvement in equality rights for cows! Though I'm sure they'll also suffer from the typical bad license photo syndrome. I still intend to go to Texas DPS and get my photo retaken one of these days. :)
Just happened to see this old news article mentioned on Bruce Schneier's blog... Photo ID cards for Indian cattle:
"Thousands of villagers in the state's Murshidabad district bordering Bangladesh are queuing up outside photo studios to have their cows photographed for the identity cards.

Valid for two years, each laminated cattle ID card displays the picture of the animal and its owner. It also carries vital information about the animal, such as its colour, height, sex and length of horns."
