There are, but I’m not linked to some sort of an application that will ( it’s not a matter of if ) be exploited by a malicious third party or even the first party ( the government ), good luck hacking my paper passport
There are. There isn’t any difference. It’s like people being afraid of facial recognition for border checks. It’s creepy at first, but governments already have pictures of everyone’s faces from their ID’s. They don’t gain anything from the additional photo except efficiency to speed up a process that’s already in place.
Edit: I will say that I would never want a government app directly linking my ID to my phone unless I could be absolutely sure it wasn’t doing anything creepy in the background. I wish sandboxing apps was a default feature for all smartphones.
Aren’t there already records of all your border crossings? I don’t see the difference, what am I missing?
