I guess all those cameras in the post office can be connected to databases containing the necessary information. I am sure the federal government probably has at least a scrap of data about any person who spends enough time in the country to have a paycheck issued to them. Maybe they're using all the spying and tracking data for something good this time?
(I don't really believe it, but it is possible. If someone in the federal government wanted to do ID-less check cashing, I bet they could scrounge together the necessary data and software contracts.)
