Honestly the only reason I would consider this a big deal is the warrantless addition of my biometric data to a federal database in order to exercise freedom of movement. I don't care if they want to compare my passport photo with my face, it doesn't offend my privacy sensors to verify that someone coming into the country at least looks like the photo on their passport. Making a database of everyone's face, fingerprints, DNA, that kind of thing is the "big deal" part to me. Especially consider that now they think they can just make an image of your phone every time you cross the border and store it for... what was it, 70 years or some similarly absurd timeframe? Or "only" 20 years if you are NOT suspected of any crime. Yeah, 20 years if they can't make up a reason to keep it longer. Minimum. 20 years. You know, way more time than it would take for any current disk encryption to be broken and way more time than it would take for anyone to reasonably expect the database to remain unhacked? In 20 years quantum computers will be readily available. But my objections are to the invasion of privacy and collection of personal data that they don't have a right to. This particular argument against is just yet another reason.
