Your government can kind of just take away your passport, trap you inside, and make it hard to get a passport elsewhere. By controlling your access to your own identity documentation.
It happens to little out-of-favor groups primarily.
But it's important to remember that power is there.

One thing I remember Ron Paul saying a long time ago as well... Walls(or heavily secured borders monitored by drones) work both ways.
Canada effectively did this with the unvaccinated for 9 months. They werenât allowed to travel by any federally regulated modes (ex. Air, ship, or train) and they also werenât allowed into the USA.
Everyone needs a plan b passport. Those of us coming from countries with terrible passports are often ahead of the curve on this.
What country would you recommend for Americans?
I donât think it useful to think like that because each person and family is different. Even neighbors do things differently. Figure out what your family needs and find a place to fits that requirement. There is also never going to be a âperfectâ place. Things you donât think about now, might because a big deal in a new country.
For those of us of Irish descent - parent or grandparent - getting dual citizenship, and after a passport is not terribly arduous. Getting documentation together, now.
why do we even allow governments to say who we are or where we belong?
Yes. So it is very important to be able to do much of what we need and want to do whether official government permission slips are available or not.
RealID?
No, "kind of". They DO those things to people. It's happening all around the world. Guberments want to keep their flock in a ideological and physical cage.
I can already forecast it will be much more draconian in 6 months....
This essentially happened to all Australians during the covid-zero lockdown strategy
Aussie citizens had to ask permission to leave their own country
If they didnât have a 2nd passport, and the government didnât deem their reason to travel permissible, then they couldnât depart on international ships or planes
Crazy in hindsight
One of the reasons I learnt about the importance of flag theory and multiple passports
The importance of having dual citizenship. Or more.
The US did it to Bobby Fischer back in the early 2000s. He ended up spending months in a Japanese detention center. He was rescued by Iceland who stepped in and granted him citizenship. (He played his world championship match in Iceland back in the 70s). His crime was to be critical about Israel publically.
I should add that his official crime was related to ignoring sanctions by playing chess in a sanctioned country. But that "crime" happened in the 90s and the US didn't go after him until he was critical of the regime post 9/11
Not even just out-of-favor groups. If you speak against the wrong person in the gov you'll get targeted.
It's extremely difficult on you and your family and will crush you into debt, despair and homelessness faster than you can blink and they'll have a cover story ready to go in case they are found with a finger in the mix.
Going public only helps very little, esp if you can't get an ear.

The even scarier thing is we are using QR code in Singapore now. They do not even need to confiscate any pp in the not too distant future.
Passports may not even be necessary as methods of biometric identification become more prevalent. Is there anything that can be done by freedom minded people to push back?
This why Digital Identity needs to have robust logic for revokation. Looking at you #EUDI
