Image Data LLC, based in Nashua NH, has admitted that the Secret Service
assisted it in creating a national database of driver licenses photos.
The company has bought millions of driver's license photos from Florida,
South Carolina and Colorado. While all three states have now blocked the
sales outright or are trying to get the photos back. The purpose of the
database was to help prevent fraud with credit cards and check cashing.
The Secret Service however gave the company a 1.46 million dollar grant
to create an anti-terrorism and immigration database.
