The national sex-offender database used in some of the US's public schools. The Washington Post < describes a new computerized security system being put in place in the Prince William County School District, Virginia's second-largest. The system, called "The Raptor" "scans government-issued identification cards and checks them against a database of listings of 460,000 sex offenders from across the country." and now in some 4,000 US schools, "In many cases, the security programs can also store parental custody information and tabulate parent volunteer hours." School officials say IDs will only be checked against sex-offender registries. "Signs are being placed at
schools' front desks to advise visitors that they can show an ID other than a U.S.-issued driver's license, such as foreign driver's license, a passport, a green card or a reentry permit."
