I don't think that it has anything to do with the current Administration but rather more with:
  1. The usual scope creep of "safety" programs. Remember at one time seatbelts [in cars] were available but not talked about much. Then there was encouragement/peer pressure to use them. Now in many places it is the law to use them or be fined.
  2. The usual "power grab" by elected officials [from any party and of any administration] to control more of the plebian lifestyle while exempting themselves.
  3. The vocal Anything for Safety group(s) will call for it because, "If you have nothing to hide ....!"
