Coinbase is probably preparing for that, though.
From what I hear, they're doing a ton of verification before they let you in. Also you have to have an aged account, I think.
Yeahp, I had to give my drivers license in order to enable the feature + I've had the account for a good 2/3 years.
After that it works great though!

Is that really it? I'm just waiting on brute-force + photoshopped scans for enterprising cyber criminals to try :/

Probably? Definitely. Nobody with those intentions are going to turn down free money.

My biggest dream is having a Bitcoin Wallet be apart of my Paypal account. They are 'New Money' aren't they? Would be an awesome addition to PP and definitely give an edge over competitors (even though their really aren't many good ones :'( )

Just as a matter of Interest from a security standpoint, do you know the actual type of verification and authentication requirements?
If not, doesn't matter It'll checkout their security when time permits. On topic, I believe It's been 4 years too long for Coinbase. They should've added PayPal right from the get-go.

Giving them your DL seems like it completely ruins the anonymity.

Yeah, it does.
I usually just use coinbase to buy, though. After that I keep it in another wallet and/or pass it through some other anonymizing source
I guess the con of Bitcoin becoming more popular and incorporated into stuff like PayPal is losing much of the anonymous aspect of it.
