Today’s proposal to digitalise passports and identity cards paves the way for a more seamless and secure travel experience,” Věra Jourová, the Commission’s Vice-President for values and transparency, said in a statement.
we know what happens when someone says the word “secure” … ahhhaaam…
remember, someone a person or a government or a cyber terrorist group will track these border checks…
and the app itself won’t be so transparent as your Lemmy client, I think I’ll stick to 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?
