The irony is, we hand over our ID everyday to provide proof for a personal check, to deposit or withdraw at the bank, to use a credit card in a store, to confirm we are the patient in question at hospitals and clinics, to register for college classes or student financial aid, to take out loans and a whole lot more. So yes, it is giving up a right to the agent, but how different is it now in practice to giving up that right to everything else in modern society? I get the legal point, but in practice, we hand out or ID freely to everyone else.
