I can see doing this for international travel. I mean the country you are going to should know who you are, but the country from which you're leaving shouldn't be keeping tabs on you.
Sadly some people in America are too dim to realize that Americans have the right "to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures..." and that this right "shall not be violated" by the government. We have the right to travel anonymously without government asking for our identification. I have the right to go to a train station, airport, etc., hand them cash, and to travel anywhere domestically without showing a single speck of identification.
