    Maybe its time to join the 21st century and issue citizen ids?

    No wonder identity theft and scams are so rampant in the US.

      @drmoose it was discussed in the 00s (in the UK!) but was massively polarising and got dropped. People didn’t like the idea of having to carry something that proved who they are.
