Congratulation! That is the key sentence!

It is possible now e. g. to implant a transponder every baby at birth. It
would mean a lot of advantages (e. g. in Hungary, here, you can go easily
into the jail for six month if you do not have (i. e. do not wear)
actually the Personal Identification Booklet (recently Card) on the
street, even as a pedestrian.). But, due to the possibly misuse from the
state's side it is politically unacceptable.

Of course, the circumstances change and there can be horrible exceptions.
In the 1st half of 40s there were a lot of countries in Europe where it
was politically acceptable to let some people to wear a yellow star on
their clothes, or they were practically prosecuted.

Generally seen, if something is regulated by legislation, it should be
also changed, whether all the people will follow the regulation, and
whether it is possible to make (or to buy) exceptions. Imagine what would
happen if a person who is able to drive 60 mph only could buy a license
for 100 mph with paying the appropriate clerk. And how would you (the
legislator) to stop this?
