We have people checking IDs at the doors of bars and strip clubs.

And just like in those cases, what is to prevent someone who is of age giving their ID to someone underage?

A human glancing at an ID is not creating a log or transmitting every unique identity to the government.

If you handed over your id, and the person checking it made a photocopy and handed it to a police officer who put it in a file in a briefcase they carried, you might feel differently.
