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

Aren't there already records of all your border crossings? I don't see the difference, what am I missing?

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
