Better safe than sorry
It is a new procedure and hence may cause some heartburn. But, I do think in light of what happened, it is warranted and perfectly OK. There is nothing wrong in showing some caution. If you were the man in charge of running things in US, would you say nothing will change and things will go on as usual after 9/11.
How many of you struggled or rather adhered to what was the norm for getting licenses, passports, etc. in your own country? I for one know getting a passport in India used to take quite a while. Did anyone complain in the days that one had to line up at the US embassies/consulates in India early morning to get the Visas.
Once these DL procedures are in place (I for one, do think that US will come up which something that is reasonable) and a year from now, probably immihelp.com, immigration.com and et al would list some help and guidelines to get a DL in US and everyone would be prepared for it and accept it as part and parcel of getting the DL.
The problem is the current batch of people are the first to be exposed to it and are more likely the scapegoats to face hardships till some better norms and processes are established. I understand the problems and so many have to suffer because of so few.
Maybe, people can shed some light on the international driving permit and it might be helpful.
Wish you luck!
