    Companies already issue digital boarding passes. I have a government issued digital ID in a phone app. These are convenient.

    But facial recognition? Hell no, f that.

        Uncle Tony on you tube likened air travel to jail… and I can’t shake it… I feel like a prisoner everytime I fly and HATE IT

          I’ve honestly come to despise air travel. I take one round-trip per year; I’m not giving up visiting family and it is too far to reasonably drive.

      Then twins walk into the airport and the system crashes.

      And facial recognition has been known to fail with very dark skin so that’ll turn into a racial issue real quick.

    Every bit of this sounds like it’s own horrible idea and they just threw it all into one big horrendous pile of nonsense.

    The airport tried that shit on me today. I was able to make it print me a boarding pass, though.

    I’m becoming a luddite in my middle age.

    Valérie Viale, the director of product management at Amadeus, a travel technology company, told the Times that the changes were “the biggest in 50 years”. She said: “The last upgrade of great scale was the adoption of e-ticketing in the early 2000s. The industry has now decided it’s time to upgrade to modern systems that are more like what Amazon would use.”

    Lmaooooo yes let’s that famously consumer-first megalith as our baseline

    I do not like this. At all. Facial recognition and forced digitization? I’m disabled, and when I request assistance, I literally cannot use a digital boarding pass. And the favial recognition just seems like such a breach.

      The whole thing is just security theater and rights violations. It’s so stupid.
