IDs for SATs

The Wall Street Journal has an article about new SAT anti-cheating measures:

In one of the most significant changes, students registering for college-admissions tests that take place in the 2012-13 school year will have to upload or mail photos of themselves that will be printed on tickets. 

The tickets will then be checked against a photo identification on the day the test is given. 

How long until we hear that this new requirement is biased against minorities and the less fortunate, who are unable to acquire photo IDs? Perhaps when test takers are able to cast votes in elections at the time of their exams.
