W.Va. offers licenses for those who fear 'beast'[Drivers License][Mark of the Beast]

West Virginia started Friday keeping driver's license photos out of a computer database for members of a small religious group who believe digital storage is a "mark of the beast" that evokes biblical prophecy.

State Division of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Joseph Cicchirillo said the group of about 50 or 60 Christians, who are not affiliated with a particular church, contacted the agency two or three years ago to object to their pictures "being on a database that can be exchanged throughout the world or hacked into."

One of the group members is Phil Hudok, who made headlines in 1999 when he was fired as a Randolph County school teacher for refusing to require his students to wear bar-coded identification badges. Hudok was later reinstated after a circuit judge said the school board had made no attempt to accommodate his religious beliefs.

Hudok and other members of his group have said bar codes and digital storage of photos are a way of numbering people, which they liken to a warning in the Bible's book of Revelation about a "mark of the beast" indicating the arrival of the Antichrist.

To accommodate their beliefs, state officials decided to issue driver's licenses to the group members that are exactly like other West Virginia licenses except that the individual photos will be removed from the computer immediately after they are taken by a digital camera.

Instead of being stored digitally, an 8-by-11-inch hard copy of each picture will be printed out and kept in a file. All other information, including birth dates and driving records, will be in the computer system, Cicchirillo said.

Without this accommodation, group members wouldn't get their driver's licenses, which the commissioner said would hamper their ability to get everyday services from insurance coverage to check cashing.

Good gracious. The people in FR sound like the people in DU. Calling Bible believers nut jobs and kooks. Sad.

Its not exactly TMOtB but it is a way of tracking people and they believe they will be rounded up and forced to take the actual mark. I think the article gets this fact mixed up.

The left end synching code (Left Guard Bar) is 00000000000101. The center code is 01010. The Right Guard bar is 1010000000.

The UPC code for a 6 in the left half of the UPC is 0101111 and in the right half is 1010000 (the bit polarity is flipped.)

Notice the 6's on the left half (white,black,white,black,black,black,black) do not resemble the guard codes.

In your graphic the "typical six" is black,white,black,white,white,white,white. The white spaces between the black lines are just as important and canot be dropped or else it isn't a 6. Notice, the left guard is followed by 3 whites (first three digits of code 0 - left side) the center is followed by 3 blacks (first 3 digits of code 0 - right side) and the right guard is followed by a white quiet zone at least 7 wide as part of the standard.

However, the only single decimal digit that will visually resemble the 101 and 01010 guard codes (white,black,white,black,white) is a six on the right hand side. I still think it's quite a stretch to say the synching codes are sixes since they aren't even considered numbers unless they are 7 bits wide and have correct polarity.

The computers aren't safe. These are prop boxes. Read up. Your financial data isn't secure.

And how many times have you read about some fool with a laptop who loses it or has it stolen putting tens of thousands of social security numbers at risk.

You put too much trust in the system. There are corrupt figures in government, in corporations, and incompetent figures in both places too (which provide hackers with easy targets).
