I mean… too late? Face recognition has been part of biometric passport security for years now.
If anything my first flag for this is that about 50% of the time I try it I end up having to call over a security person because it tends to flake out a bunch. I’ve had better luck recently, so maybe it’s ready now?
This becoming an app may be the logical next step, but I do think there’s some value to carrying a physical copy of the biometric data with you. If we’re not losing the paper passport I don’t see why I’d need to double up on recognition software. If you’re already matching my face to my passport and my boarding pass is also matched for my passport it sure seems like we already have all the pieces in place for this without wasting more money on more contractors and giving them more of our data to store.
I hate giving up privacy in the name of security.
