Coalition: 11 States Lag in License Security The Coalition for a Secure Driver's License said that 11 states have not done enough to prevent use of state driver's licenses and identity cards by terrorists. The coalition said in a statement the states with lax licensing requirements are Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin. Some 9/11 hijackers were in the United States illegally, but legally got Florida licenses, which they used to board the jets that they commandeered, the group said. As it tries to tighten security, Oregon officials told the Associated Press it has redesigned driver's licenses to incorporate the latest in digital technology and make them harder to counterfeit. The coalition noted the states at the lowest risk of license fraud are Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming.
