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
