Missouri didn't want to implement RealID not because they didn't want to require an SSN, but rather because they did not want to store copies of the identification documents in a central database. We ended up with a two tier system where individuals may opt for a RealID license or a regular license. For RealID licenses, the documents will be stored in an air gapped system, with criminal penalties for anyone who uses the system for anything other than RealID. (whether or not that gets enforced is another issue...). Missourians have good reason to distrust the DMV, as they have been caught red handed illegally useing their databases in the recent past.
