Ha, I bought lunch at Burger King yesterday and couldn't even buy a milkshake for dessert without raising suspicion and an ID check due to running a second transaction too soon after the first. Compared to cash, electronic payment has far more options for preventing theft.

Actually this whole thread sounds *exactly*like what people were saying 14 years ago, how they would NEVER shop on the World Wide Web.

He's wrong about that. You are supposed to have a driver's license with you to drive a car. In most states, if you don't have one you can get cited for that. BUT if you go to the police station later and produce a valid license they will cancel the citation. As for situations other than driving: in most of the U.S. (a couple of states have some weird exceptions), you do not have to identify yourself to police unless they have probable cause to believe you were involved in a crime. They can ask, but you don't have to comply.
