The barcode on your VA card apparently is scannable for your personal information, versus it being on the magnetic strip on the back.

Many of you may already know this though.

Just tried scanning my VA Medical card but the barcode is already scratched and rubbed to hell.

I think Katsumbhong was talking more about the fact that if you lost your VA card someone could easily scan it with their phone vs having to have a magnetic strip reader.  It's not about the illuminati more of a tip to keep your personal information safe.

Pretty useful tip considering that a large portion of the members here are veterans.

It's more towards your attitude over said pic and how relentless you are in your rights to post them when you have been told repeatedly what is/isn't appropriate on the forums.  There are plenty of vets around here and this is an informative post.  ICP lookalike pics not so much.  You really should just let it go.  It's silly to keep acting out like an mistreated child.

i agree but this is an off topic thread and according to what ive been scolded for this isnt appropriate for a chiptune board.. although i fully agree about warning veterans about this craziness.. might i also add its easy as hell to yank personal info off of twic cards.. something else you should keep hidden in a safe place when not in use

i have not been told repeatedly might i add

This is good to know. I'll have to let my veteran uncle know about this.

If you dislike this thread so much feel free to click the "REPORT" link under the OP and/or rally other users in the collective cm.o community to back your cause and decide collectively that this thread is irrelevant to us as a community.

I think it is pretty lame and petty to complain about someone else's thread being off-topic and seemingly passive-aggressively trying to get it closed just because you're upset that yours did get closed while at the same time trying to defend off-topic threads as a whole :\

Just be cool, man. You don't have to take every fight that comes your way... this is making me sad sad Go with the flow. You're not going to win anybody over from a state of "uptightness" by being uptight about their being uptight about your lack of uptightivity.

And even if this thread does get closed, it is not deleted, and will continue to exist and serve its purpose of informing us of this serious problem in the graveyard or whatever I guess.... >_>
