Driving without your license in possession is only a minor infraction if you
are a licensed driver. This happened to me once and I simply told the
officer what my license # was. He didn't even cite me.

Yea, but when I take an autox run, I feel very watched
by authority figures (cornerworkers) looking for any
reason to perescute me (call cone). I got used to it.
Seriously: airports are a different case. In general
you will be less watched. Coming from the UK to the
US, I was surprised that I had to carry a drivers
license, never mind it being photographic and widely
used as ID. I believe its a misdemeanour in CA for
anyone (not driving) not carry a DL/ID.
Michael Clements puts it much better than I do.
The Economist regularly publishes a "freedom table"
that ranks countries by civil liberties. The US isn't
on the top.
The question is, do you care, or notice?
