Aside: I've been to Backfoot, ID. The (additional) problem with scanning and sending your ID to Google is that they can't look at your face and confirm that the person presenting the documents is the person to whom the documents belong. I don't see why you couldn't use Skype (or other videoconferencing tool of your choice) to connect with a customer service center and show them your ID, though. Unless they're being *really* evil and screencapping their calls just to get sensitive data, this seems like a semi-reasonable alternative, though admittedly I haven't really thought it through. Can anyone see potential problems with doing it this way? -Dan _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
