Hi Dave,
The Salem cigarette brand is marketing itself by paying attractive young
men and women to give away its product. To keep these employees from making
mass donations to their friends they've been given digital cameras. They're
asked to photograph a unique driver license for every 3 packs given away. I
witnessed this at my first visit to Dee's Cafe on the south side. It's a
favorite hangout of Pittsburgh bike messengers, hep cats, artists, and
smokers. About 30 packs were given away in the hour that I was there.

Does any IPer know what claims RJ Reynolds may have with respect to the
information in those photos? The attractive woman told me that they were
used only to keep her honest.
to share if you wish,
Devin
