Most of the driver's licenses I know of have your date of birth on the mag strip. The merchant scans the card and uses it as a double check to make sure your not using a fake ID. Of course.. making a mag strip encoder from Radio Shack parts is not really that hard...;-)
Just a note.. version 1.2 of NorthStar was just released and has quite a lot of improvements. Also, RWHOIS and SWIP support are not far off... check out http://www.brownkid.net/NorthStar/ for more info.
