Boarding passes and check-in could be scrapped in air travel shake-up | The Guardian | …this is a really bad idea in several obvious ways

Dead batteries, lost documents, enabling “search” by customs & immigration… hell, no:

The [ICAO] plans to dramatically shake up existing rules for airports and airlines through the introduction of a “digital travel credential”. This would allow passengers to store passport information on their devices to be used for travel.

"In a stunning reversal, the European Commission is once again poised to undermine the privacy of citizens across Europe in the ongoing eIDAS reform process. After promising to close a dangerous loophole in the eIDAS implementing acts, the Commission has yielded to powerful industry lobbyists and reintroduced an optional regime for “relying party registration certificates.” This dramatic backslide threatens the core principle of the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet project: namely, giving users across the EU secure digital identities under reliable and uniform protections."

What’s happening with Elon Musk and the centralised data of the US federal government is the kind of worst-case scenario Tony Blair and other ID card/central data acolytes have always dismissed as baseless fear-mongering, btw.

When you learn the lengths that Government & Law Enforcement will go to in order to get you to unlock your phone, you will partly understand why they are so attracted to “digital driver’s licences”

If they can practically guarantee an obligation for you to unlock your phone in front of a police officer at a traffic stop, that would be a big win for them.

Make sure you learn and practise the available countermeasures, like however your phone (Android or iPhone) provides you a way to enter lockdown mode.

Also works against muggers.

please get into the sea Tony with your support of facial recognition technology and openly admitting you want digital ID implemented in the way so it can spy on population

(although I have to admit it's true large groups of people don't care about privacy)
