       Making it legally compulsory and hack-proof (could you use someone else's liscence?) and installing it in all cars is far more of a problem, compareded to cost.

       All technical problems aside (and pottedstu mentioned some really tough ones), this would be in violation of US supreme court rulings that establish a citizen's right to be anonymous to their government, even the police, when there is no "reasonable suspicion" of illegal activity.

       Just wait until the Real ID Act takes effect in 2008. Using RFID technology the cop will already know that you are in violation of anything as you pass him by.
