Literally shoot me if this becomes a reality. I don't want my ability to travel to be dependent on something with a steadily dying battery.
From the article, it sounds more like they're using shared databases and facial recognition more than smartphones or similar. So they'd presumably have the requisite devices at customs.
That doesn’t sound better. I get the shared databases, though it does introduce security issues. But the facial recognition that’s been proven flaked and flawed and based on biometric data that can be leaked and never changed… no thank you.
Fantastic, because we all know facial ID has no problems identifying non-white people.
I can see it now: Idris Elba getting picked up by the feds because O’Hare fired this thing up and recorded 700 Idris Elba’s All boarding different flights using different names.
