I get what you're saying, but if you think of it what we're doing today - handing over the one and only official piece of document to a) cop b) club bouncer etc.

They can hold onto it, and never return it. They can deface it. All of that is a possibilty.

You could argue, a sufficiently locked down phone is a better alternative. If they do something, you'll only lose $$

But they can't potentially look at your banking app, read private notes, messages and emails, operate your home automation, look at your calendar, etc. if all they have is a plastic card.
