ID requirements are neither unreasonable nor particularly intrusive.

They aren’t NOW but they certainly will be with what is being proposed.
I have no problem showing a picture id but I have a huge problem with having a card scanned and linked to some data base somewhere. Especially if its someone like a bank who has no need for access to such information.

How about grocery stores who want to scan your id...no problem with that? And they will because they can.

If not, welcome to the new age. I have a real problem with it.

Since when do banks and grocery stores have access to federal databases?

I suspect they’ll check IDs just as they do now — visual inspection. And, if scanning occurs (banks can already scan state IDs in Texas for faster entry of information), it still won’t be connected to an FBI database ... it’ll be connected to “name and address” information which already appears on the face of the ID.
