Fingerprints are not required as a part of Real ID implementation. Real ID seems like it would be the main driver for feature parity between licenses of different states. If fingerprints aren't required by Real ID, then it seems like it would be incorrect to assume that all states require fingerprints - and thus also incorrect to assume that driver licenses in the USA are used as honeypots for fingerprints.
Perhaps landemva should have specified which states are using driver licenses as honeypots for collecting fingerprints?
