security scans your driver licence and car license
Off topic, but always been keen to know exactly what info is in the scanned code and or the database behind that. There was speculation years ago that the security companies bought the databases containing the data behind our ID/car registration numbers.
Analogous to that would be that a product code at Pick n Pay just says 60012345612345, and if you scan the product that's what it reads, BUT behind that in PnP's database is all the costing and pricing and stock levels etc. Behind my car number is a wealth of data, which might actually be encoded in the 2D barcode or in the AARTO database.
So I wonder what the security at a complex or mall actually gets access to when they can my licence?
