Sure, but at least driver's licenses are about public spaces. I can drive on private property all I want without a license.

As for the other systems, I personally don't much believe those are okay either, but that's a much deeper argument than this.

We've been losing our rights since the income tax and probably prior. I just want us to stop losing them at a minimum, but asking for that is viewed as some kind of major indiscretion.
