Ask yourself if you would be ok submitting your photo ID, proof of citizenship, and phone's unique ID in any of the settings that the mandate will cover. Do you honestly think they will dismantle it one day? Especially if Apple is making it so easy for them. For the record, no I don't think I should have to present my ID to get a Metrocard or ride a train. I do think that is oppressive. Because by that point they will have intruded into our lives way too much. NY state has been encroaching for years. They have been fantasizing about a "no ride" list for Amtrak. And many officials have invited the TSA and ICE to set up surprise mobile checkpoints for commuters at bus terminals. All under the justification of protecting us from terrorism. This is just the thin edge of a wedge to expand their control over us. And yes, most of them do want more power and money, and our civil liberties stand in the way of that.
