One ID: a seamless air travel experience, or more surveillance⁠?

Enrique Dans' article in Medium discusses the One ID initiative, which proposes using biometric identification to replace traditional boarding passes and check-in procedures for air travel.

Pilot programs are underway to assess the feasibility and safety of this technology.This article is also available in English on my Medium page, «One ID: a seamless air travel experience, or more surveillance?»
