I wish more jurisdictions would make age verification cards. A photo of me, the police logo, and the words This person is plenty old enough.

I don't know the details but I've been hearing about it from nerds for years so I'm assuming there's a solid signature scheme behind it or some way to prove you're not carrying your of-age friend's phone. Doesn't seem like anyone's interested in rolling this out though... something something proof of vaccination in the EU without compromising privacy, perfect solution mumble mumble...
