They scan faces for domestic flights in the US now...
You can opt out of these for now at least
Passports used to be cool.
You got cool stamps to record your travels and they actively documented your travels, these days my passport is just empty and boring.
Looking at my grand parents old passports is so cool when you can trace their travels.
My grandmother had several stamps from the DDR, among many many other stamps from other nations all over europe.
I'm sure this system will be infallible, and no poor soul will be trapped in airport customs because of a digital fuckup.
Looking at it through a darker lense...yeah this just feels like a black mirror episode.
Can't wait to travel with a silicon face mask of some celebrity to get my free upgrade to business class. Totally can't envision any more sinister scenarios for somewhat skilled makeup artists.
