Simply have a place for a red line to indicate that the license was obtained without federally approved ID

The thin red line soution leaves the states in charge of deciding how they want to handle driver's licenses.

IMO this argument is almost moot. We don't object to standards for food, drugs, environment, labor and safety regulation, intra State Commerce and a host of other matters that extend beyond individual State boundaries yet the imposition of a standard for verifying the true and legal identity of an individual in a matter that clearly cross State lines is strenuously opposed by some.

I ask why in the full recognition of the validity of all of these other areas of Federal regulation. IMO this is another area that warrants the establishment of a uniform and effective standard and from, where I see it, the Federal Government is the only entity in a position to ensure that necessary standards are developed and enforced. What is the real rationale for opposition to this initiative?
