&quot;A good solution to identification would be a central state operated database. But it would have to be backed by strong laws defining what it can be used for with no loopholes, not even for police of &quot;national security&quot;, and a default deny policy.&quot;<p>Good luck with that, in any country, in any regime.<p>&quot;However the US has been stuck in a counterproductive attitude of treating regulation as a bad thing&quot;
Which is why other countries have such air-tight centralized databases that are never abused...right?
