its so easy to submit to the demands of those 'who know better than us', eh;

 Apple has rolled out its new Digital ID, which allows users to make an ID in the Apple Wallet app on their iPhone or Apple Watch, using information from their U.S. passport along with a series of facial scans.

“With the launch of Digital ID, we’re excited to expand the ways users can store and present their identity — all with the security and privacy built into iPhone and Apple Watch,” Jennifer Bailey, Apple Pay and Apple Wallet vice president, said in a statement.

The excitement of creating a new digital ID, Bailey said, eminated from seeing how many Apple users eagerly signed up for a 2022 feature that let them add their driver’s licenses and state IDs to their Apple Wallet on the iPhone and Apple Watch. A total of 12 states already allow residents to add their licenses and IDs to the Apple Wallet, according to the company’s website.

The Apple Digital ID will be accepted at more than 250 U.S. airports and TSA checkpoints for in-person identity verification during domestic travel. It cannot be used for international travel at this time.

In an attempt to lure people in, the TSA websites states that, “You can breeze through more than 250 TSA checkpoints faster and more securely than ever before.”............more.......
