Totally agree with this in the US context. Real ID is a good example. Some states have not adopted it. They won't be able to go on military bases or board a plane or enter certain federal building without the Real ID recognized driver's license. It is a de facto National ID...and nobody thinks that a problem?
Enough for a quarter of the states to pass laws specifically forbidding complying with the federal REAL ID Act. Enough so that “Homeland Security,” (eesh, that still sounds creepy) keeps pretending to give out ‘waivers’ to states. Until they don’t.
With so many state legislatures dead set against it, my guess is that Motherland Security will extend the requirement deadline for air travel past 2018.

My parents live in PA, one of those states not complying...and they didn't even know about it.
