Eventually the government will claim every personal liberty may be exploited by a person bent on doing evil. Hence, every personal liberty will be dangerous to the state and will become illegal.

While requiring ID might slow down prepaid cell phone use for some illegal activity, it's not going to stop it for most terrorists. Most terrorist groups have access to many means of fake drivers licenses, social security cards, etc that would easily pass most retail stores... especially smaller chains that don't do any electronic checks on it.
