| I need to renew my license next month and was wondering about the enhanced license. I never have been to Canada, but might visit in the future. Anyone have theirs yet and how was the experience crossing the border? |
Nope, The scanner reads the 2 lines of code at the bottom of the bio page. You'll also fine those lines on the Enhanced License, Neuxus cards, Green Card etc. |
| If it has RFID, you wouldn't need to run it over a scanner.. the scanner would have detected you already. Some people don't like being able to detect and classify you since each signal response is specific to you. Suppose you can wrap aluminim around stuff to limit it. |
At least the passport is foil lined to prevent someone to scanning it while its in your pocket. Actaully, if i had one of these "enhanced licenses" i'd probably look into shielding when its stored in my wallet. |
Don't get me wrong, I like the scan, it speeds up the process. If you are traveling through several countrys, changing planes and whatnot fast is good.  I renewed three years ago and I am a bit disapointed that it doesn't have the chip in it.  That way the Chinese that made the chip could keep track of me too!
