This a great example of argumentum ad hominem. Instead of addressing the fact that only a miniscule number of people suffer from identity theft 5%, and out of that 5% only 23% suffer out of pocket expenses you decide to make an appeal to emotion; thus sidestepping the argument entirely. The fact is identity theft is a red herring in the argument about Real Id. This does not mean that I amt discrediting their pain. I have suffered from identity theft once and I had to take a whole day off work to deal with it; it also took one whole week to get back my money.
