Unlike national ids, anybody with your social security id can cause financial havoc as it can be manipulated to apply and run up credit cards. More security measures would need to be implemented and as you have noticed, less and less people opt out to have their social security number on their drivers license. Hmm, showing your home address and social security number to a stranger like a store clerk.
