    passengers will also be able to upload their passports to their phone and travel through airports using their face for verification. Instead of manually checking in, which would let airlines know who intends to board their flights, airlines will instead be alerted when passengers arrive at the airport and their face is scanned

    They can’t even reliably scan a QR code, how can they pull that off with 100% accuracy?

      This also means people wouldn’t be able to travel with cheap burner phones, which is extremely problematic for people who need to travel to and from increasingly authoritarian states.

      TSA in the States has already pulled it off. they use sources they already have like your current and past passport and ID photos for verification and do not store the pic they take when crossing TSA. that’s what the signs say at least. I guess it’s good enough for them already…
