Facial recognition and a ‘journey pass’ stored on passengers’ phones are part of UN-backed plans to digitise air transport

Instead of manually checking in, which would let airlines know who intends to board their flights, airlines will instead be alerted when passengers arrive at the airport and their face is scanned.

What a fucking nightmare. And probably just a first step.
Then you won’t be able to fly. Easy as that.
