[LINK] iPad and Census

[Greg Taylor]

The blue "Census Guide" says the census collector won't return if you submit online.

I was intrigued that the 13-character Census Form Number was handwritten, both on the manual form and on the eCensus 
sealed envelope. Maybe it's cheaper to print the main form without unique identifiers, but then there must be a cost for 
the collectors to transcribe numbers by hand, with accompanied risk of data integrity errors.

And is there a better way to provide "two factor" identification/security than a sealed envelope containing another number?
