Well I was recently at a US airport that had automatic "scan your face to board the plane" gates (non-optional) instead of providing boarding pass + passport, so from there to "scan your face to pay" it's a very small leap. They already know all about you and have your biometric identity, what's tacking a payment method to it?
- BiteCode_dev 3y agoAirport is a very punctual and security specific situation. Buying things is a benign thing of your day to day life. Scanning your face to pay is a wet dream for surveillance states.
- sofixa 3y agoSorry, I was responding in the original context of GP talking about Newark airport's terrible system. In it, scan your face to pay doesn't seem too far fetched; outside of it, I agree, pretty scary stuff.

- DonHopkins 3y agoUnfortunately kidnapping them is the problem because they're always so well disguised.
- staringback 3y agoIt is most definitely optional
