I'm curious why such a universal ID hasn't been implemented? I would assume there must be some people against it, what would be their rationale?

  The ACLU opposes it for a number of reasons [0]. A lot of objections relate to the potential for surveillance. [0]: https://www.aclu.org/other/5-problems-national-id-cards https://www.aclu.org/other/5-problems-national-id-cards

    Thanks for the link. Some of the issues raised definitely have the potential to be problematic.

    Sadly the surveillance ship has long since sailed :( I'd trade a federal ID for dismantling all the domestic spying.
