kinda like saying it should be illegal for a cop to _ask_ for your ID

  That's a very different situation. For one, that's a first party request; I can refuse (in some states, in some circumstances). A license also can't contain private information; it's a physical manifestation of information that a person willingly surrendered to the government. There's a huge difference between a cop asking a single person for their ID, and dragnet surveillance of people with a particular viewpoint.

    I think his point is there's a similar distinction between monitoring a group of people who attacked democracy, and dragnet surveillance of the entire population.
