Lucky for you, I am a computer professional. Downloading the entire data base of license plate information into many portable devices is an huge violation of security. The secure method of handling these issues is to query the master data base with license plate number, color and other information easily discerned by the remote device. Thus my reference to future computer power and communication capacity.
The fact that most systems today are not very secure, including the "no travel" list managed by our government, is beside the point. One should
never, never, never be able to download the entire data base for any reason. Printing or distributing the "no travel list" in any way shape or form is beyond my ability to express my disgust. And these are the people who think they are professional enough to manage our health care systems data bases.
Give me a break!
