perhaps allowing tokens/passwords to be established for existing SSNs would be an alternative to national IDs. You could even create a separate token each time you needed to supply the SSN, so that if it's ever leaked, the source of the leak could be investigated.

It is a time limited, physical token issued by the state that identifies you to third parties. You could make it more secure with public-private key cryptography, by signing the information on the card, including the photo, such that forgery would become impossible (under 21 kids would hate that).
