Why would the card cause a search? You are thinking in today's mindset. If drugs were legal, what will a serach prove. Anyway do cops stop you and look at all your credit cards? As for credibility in court, there is a standard of proof; proving someone has a card is meaningless unless a law has been broken.

That may be true, but these forms of ID are not used to track people's purchases. I really do not like the idea of any person or entity tracking me, my movements or my purchases. I am not one for government conspiracies, in fact I have more faith in the government than most, but I really like my privacy and really just appreciate the ability to do what I want, enjoy myself and protect my family and property.

You have to show your ID to buy booze or tobacco; if the vendor wanted he could keep a record of your purchase? Credit card charges are used to establish credit, track consumer tastes, direct advertising to consumers... To live in an organized society part of life will be lived in a fishbowl. If you want total privacy, drop out, quit driving and pay cash..but then there's your social security.
I haven't gotten that far yet. There will lots of kinks to work out.
