passengers will also be able to upload their passports to their phone and travel through airports using their face for verification. 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

They can’t even reliably scan a QR code, how can they pull that off with 100% accuracy?

This also means people wouldn't be able to travel with cheap burner phones, which is extremely problematic for people who need to travel to and from increasingly authoritarian states.
