Hijackers Exploited DMV Loophole

By Brooke A. Masters

Four of the hijackers who crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the
Pentagon exploited an unusual legal loophole to obtain Virginia driver's
licenses even though they did not live in the state, according to law
enforcement sources and documents. 

Virginia officials said they would change their rules today to try to
prevent such abuse. 

Khalid Al-Midhar, Majed Moqed, Nawaq Alhazmi and Hani Hanjour took
advantage of a Virginia law that allows people to get driver's licenses
without providing such documents as passports or leases to verify their
identity and residence, said sources close to the investigation. 

Maryland and most other states and the District require applicants to
present a passport or out-of-state license to prove identity as well as
a utility bill or lease to prove that they live in the state.  Until
today, Virginia allowed applicants to present a notarized residency form
cosigned by a state resident and a notarized identity form cosigned by a
lawyer. 

The forms were meant to help foreign refugees who did not have the
standard documentation, but they have been widely abused.  An Arlington
notary public was convicted last month of immigration fraud for helping
thousands of out-of-state illegal immigrants obtain Virginia driver's
licenses.
