Schneier on National ID Cards, Key Escrow Locks, E-voting

Schneier's Cryptogram newsletter this month touches on a lot of subjects near and dear to our hearts: national ID cards, TSA-approved luggage locks, a cost-benefit analysis of stealing an election via hacking evoting machines, a nifty credit with audible security, etc.

Now that states are trying out such asinine measures as yanking your DL for thing that have nothing to do with driving, it's time to re-assert the reasons why we delegate the power to control the roads to the state in the first place.

Why exactly do you think driving a car is some kind of natural right? If you don't pay parking tickets, you are breaking the law. Why exactly does the state have to let you keep your license? What do you suggest as an alternate and effective means of enforcement?
