Record keeping whether it be property records, marriage or birth certificates, military records, passports, etc, is just a necessity in order to function as a society.

The only two federal databases you list are military records and passports, neither of which is inclusive of all Americans. They are specific, not general. I mean, unless you think everyone should have to serve in the military, or be required to possess a universal passport. Do you?

So which databases are authorized? Is the test that it must apply to every person.
