I have a passport. I had to go to a US postal facility and talk to a real human, who took a real picture, we had a chat, I had to provide my old passport, and a month or so later I got the new passport and the old one was returned. We have SSL certs. They /can/ issue certs, the govt /can/ be a CA. This is the real tech, it's been worked on for years and is actively worked on today. Weird things are happening right now, all over the place, at many different levels of government; and I don't mean good things. I kinda think it looks like sabotage, hate to say it. (The State of Washington gave me a government email account last year to renew my drivers' license, and I could mint more.) It's a wild ride, and it'll either correct or this is the "end of the Bronze Age", folks.
