That must be why we don't do that in the U.S.
I wonder why my state closed all polling stations (vote by mail only) and made it ILLEGAL to ask for ID when signing up to vote.
They allow registrations with a common address such as the county courthouse saying this is needed by the homeless.
Nice follow up was the change in law to require you to know a voters name/age/address if you wanted to challenge votes even in districts whit more votes than registered voters.

The X-15 was not relying on those stubby wings for lift during boost.
I seem to recall attitude adjustment jets being added to the wings to try to give some control during the higher attempts.
Those wings were useful during the steep glide/landing phase.
That beast was developed prior to the whole 'lifting body' thing.
Would have liked to see a DynaSoar http://www.thelivingmoon.com/4... actually fly.

Looks like fallout from the Congressional mandate for 'Number Portability' doesn't it.
  It used to be impossible to have a New York number on your phone in Hawaii, not any more.
It took a lot of work but we had to force those evil phone companies to separate logic from the system so the people could satisfy another whim.
