The solution is to stop requiring strong ID for every dumb transaction in the universe.

I got carded for a chest x-ray two days ago. There’s no universe in which this makes sense. The nail salon asks for your phone number even if you’re a walk-in.

Americans are so used to this that they even have a hand gesture for “papers please”.

For centuries we could transact without ID; why now?
