I'm surprised the article did not raise the point that the US government effectively maintains a huge database of everybody's handwriting.

If you have enough written content that you've placed online, the US government can identify you anyway. A person's writing style and specific use of function words is their handwriting for the digital time. Creepy/cool linguistics.

Does anyone besides the government actually use someone's handwriting as an identification tool?
