Universal 'Universal' Background Checks

 I was reading a piece out there today where someone put a pretty wild idea on the table....universal background checks....for literally everything:

If you going to apply for welfare benefits....you do a universal background check.

Want to petition your government for something....go down to the country clerk's office and have a universal background check done on your prior to starting the campaign.

Want to get married?  Visit the country clerk and have a universal background check done on both people.  

Flying somewhere?  As you stand there at the airline desk or travel agent....submit your info for a brief universal background check.  

Crossing the border back into the US (from a cruise, or a trip to Mexico)?  Show your info for a brief universal background check.

Opening a bank account?  Do a universal background check.

Literally everything connected?  Yes.  And it'd all be free of charge....government 'chip' ID, and establish quick ten-year prison sentences for fraudulent episodes....federal case and no waiver out of the deal.

Pain in the ass?  No doubt.  But overnight, you'd start to find out various things that existed for decades, and police would be falling over themselves....connecting cases left and right.
