I'm pretty sure that enhanced license runs off a RFID signal. They
should keep their drivers license in a mylar anti static bag or folded
in aluminum foil when not in use. It's theroetically possible for
others to scan thier information right out of the wallet.

Actually if you have a passport they can access that in the database.
This is especially true for naturalized citizens.

Yes they may detain you for a few minutes while they pull the record
up
but that shouldn't be a problem.

I was talking to a couple a week ago who had gotten the New York
enhanced license. This thing is supposed to be able to allow you to
drive across the border of Canada or Mexico and allow entry back into
the US without a passport.

They drove across at the NY border and went west through Canada. Then
they discovered that NONE of the border stations outside NY had the
equipment to read the chip in the license to allow them back in!!
OOPS.
My simple answer was that they should have checked this out before
they
left.
