Is that id card based though? I get that this prevents teenagers from buying booze but identity theft via the antiquated SSN based system isn't affected by this

Is that id card based though? I get that this prevents teenagers from buying booze but identity theft via the antiquated SSN based system isn't affected by this, is it?

Once your identity is proofed using physical identity credentials, your digital identity can be used not just for buying alcohol but also for air transit with the TSA. The logical conclusion is to then use your digital ID for credit and financial transactions, instead of credit knowledge tests or just winging it with personal data in forms. Baby steps. Think of how credit cards moved from mag stripe to chip, and merchants still using the mag stripe for transactions are liable for the fraud. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katienotopoulos/apple-wallet-id-license-tsa https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katienotopoulos/apple-w...
