ID card is not needed. There is no reason to hold one since they already have access to your data, and authenticate by your picture and other. Using a card just allows more fraud crimes, something that is already very bad in the US.

Great observation. It’s why TSA is moving to facial biometrics. Less need for ID and suboptimal human evaluation of person->ID.

This is a great security measure. Tho it's pretty privacy invasive in some aspects, but otherwise it's good.

When I traveled to Saudi Arabia a few years ago they took my fingerprints at customs. When exiting the country, I didn't give them my passport - they just scanned my thumbs and asked me to confirm my name.
