When it gets down to the basics of the matter I think this whole expatriation thing his highly overrated. Unless you immigrated to this land Has anyone really signed an Oath, Declaration or Allegiance affirmation to the United States corporation, if you canceled your DL, SSN, Voter Card, Birth Certificate is there really anything else they can pin this assumption on?
I don't know, maybe people have watched cartoons too much as a kid thinking that this whole expatriation thing is going to give them some kind of super powers or something. Lets face it, statutes, regulations, policies is for corporate officers and elected officials, unless they can prove your part of the Corporate Body Politic and not an unfranchised body they really have nothing.
I first started to realize early last year when I was sent to jail, I don't know how many times they asked me for a Drivers License and SSN, I finally pulled my nossn card out and said ok guys you want an ID, here it is, my private unfranchised ID card, soon as they read the back of it they shut up and stopped asking me:

Another event that day is that they wanted to get my picture and finger prints, I told them by doing so your violating my religion, I cannot accept public engraven images of my body and you would also be committing an act of piracy. Not too long after that their supervisor called them to the back an left me standing there for a couple minutes, they decided not to take my picture an finger prints then took me to general population without doing all that.
My 2 cents.
