    Who do you think is checking those ids? Hint: it’s not the government, it’s some 3rd party company, always.

      With cryptographic systems like the EU uses, it must go through the government because a 3rd party can’t implement that verification/response pattern without access to the proper gov’t cryptographic secrets.
