L1 Identity Solutions of Stamford, Connecticut, has sold itself in two parts:
1. It owns a spook shop, although it calls it a "government consulting business," a sort of overflow catch basin for the CIA. The company is selling this part of itself to BAE of Farnborough, Hampshire, England,
2. The main part of the business is biometric devices, software, and databases, and there's a good chance this includes the drivers license in your wallet. These get sold to France's Safron.
So,
(1) not to worry old chap
(2) et dormez bien
This transfer of another chunk of our security to foreign contractors results from CEO Robert LaPenta's inability to turn a buck on one of the world's hottest technologies.

Well, it's not as if this country's government was doing anything all that laudable with it.
We already do. The bills on which the Congress votes are written by unelected third parties, read by interns, and funded by ferriners.
