They're way ahead of you:
"Whoever --
(1) falsely makes, forges, counterfeits, mutilates, or alters any driver's license or identification card or instrument purporting to be a driver's license or identification card, with intent that the license or card may be used,
(4) tampers with, alters, or destroys a computer chip embedded in a driver's license or identification card or data contained on the computer chip, or
(Wait, it gets better:)
5) except by lawful authority, accesses data contained on a computer chip embedded in a driver's license or identification card, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 20 YEARS, or both."
That's right, not only can't you destroy the chip, you can't even read what's on it. Disagree? It?s 20 years in club fed for you.
And all this, from what purports to be a "free country".
