Smiling is against the law?

I labeled this as an 'On a lighter note' however it isn't really that funny because this is the law.

Apparently you can no longer smile on your driver's license in Virginia.

Anyone else find this ridiculous? I mean it is obvious why it is this way. Face recognition technology has problems if the reference image in sufficiently distorted. So by not having people smile the system will be more accurate. This is a good thing for automatic recognition, however it is questionable as to why this needs to happen? Do we need a police system where you are photographed everywhere you go? I definitely don't think so. Anyway. Enjoy the lunacy of the Virginia legislature. Don't worry it will be coming to a legislature near you soon I am sure.
