"A good solution to identification would be a central state operated database. But it would have to be backed by strong laws defining what it can be used for with no loopholes, not even for police of "national security", and a default deny policy." Good luck with that, in any country, in any regime. "However the US has been stuck in a counterproductive attitude of treating regulation as a bad thing" Which is why other countries have such air-tight centralized databases that are never abused...right?
