My current driver's license has a magnetic strip and optical bar code on the back. The past few licenses may have been accidentally sitting under a tape degausser when it was turned on (can't read it? Well, I must have bumped my wallet against a magnet at work. Oh, well.)

However, with the easy availability of cameras and accurate OCR, those strips are old info. Just snap a picture of the front of the ID and the name, address, license number, etc. can be read and cross checked against the state database. The point I will get worried is when they start requiring RFID so that your license can be "checked" without you ever knowing it has been scanned.

Washington state has holograms imbedded. I saw how they worked at an airport. The TSA person shines a spectrum light on the DL and the holograms bloom. Can’t print those in there since they’re invisible until lighted up.

Simple piece of aluminum foil, 2X the size of the license. Fold once. Problem solved.

Finally - a use for aluminum foil that has nothing to do with hats.

That’s what aluminized sleeves are for.
