So was "REAL ID", and that took ~fifteen years to bring all the holdouts to heel. It wasn't till the start of the COVID disaster that FedGov could make compliance a condition of receiving enough essential Federal funds to force the remaining objectors to comply.

It'd be great if you'd stop accepting the premise of authoritarians and reject the publicly-stated premise that motivates these systems. While it may not be clear to folks at the moment, they are no less bad than the systems that help -say- Texas law enforcement track down Texan women and doctors who are in violation of the Texas abortion ban.

I don't give a shit if you say that you do stop accepting the publicly-stated premise. [0] I just hope that one day in the not too distant future you do.

[0] I would -in fact- not believe you if you said you did in reply to this comment.
