Excerpts directly from the CT DMV press release:

“Through the program, called SelectCT ID, people verifying will get a gold star on the license or ID card. Those declining will have one stamped “Not for Federal Identification.” Those without verification could face extra federal screening under a proposed program slated to go into effect in 2017 for airports and federal buildings and that also could be used for possible commercial transactions.

Anyone not wanting this verification can simply decline and renew their regular license or DMV-issued ID card. If someone declines, a valid U.S. passport can serve the same purpose as the verified license or ID card at federal screening checkpoints.”

“FEDERAL SCREENING CHECKPOINTS” ?!?!
