I don’t like SovCits, but I wish 50% of people who travel by plane were SovCits. We’ll see how quickly these are rolled back.

Uncle Tony on you tube likened air travel to jail… and I can’t shake it… I feel like a prisoner everytime I fly and HATE IT

Then twins walk into the airport and the system crashes.
And facial recognition has been known to fail with very dark skin so that’ll turn into a racial issue real quick.

I do not like this. At all. Facial recognition and forced digitization? I’m disabled, and when I request assistance, I literally cannot use a digital boarding pass. And the favial recognition just seems like such a breach.

Sound worse to me for the travellers and airlines

This would be stupid

The whole thing is just security theater and rights violations. It’s so stupid.
felixwhynot@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Thanks I hate it
ByteJunk@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Companies already issue digital boarding passes. I have a government issued digital ID in a phone app. These are convenient.
But facial recognition? Hell no, f that.

Already here. It has been used in airport security lines for a few years now

Every bit of this sounds like it’s own horrible idea and they just threw it all into one big horrendous pile of nonsense.

I gotta travel with my twin more often. I can 50-50 unlock his stuff. Let’s fuck this up.

Valérie Viale, the director of product management at Amadeus, a travel technology company, told the Times that the changes were “the biggest in 50 years”. She said: “The last upgrade of great scale was the adoption of e-ticketing in the early 2000s. The industry has now decided it’s time to upgrade to modern systems that are more like what Amazon would use.”
Lmaooooo yes let’s that famously consumer-first megalith as our baseline

Amazon of the “just walk out” shops powered by AI, that turned out to be s lot of Indian workers in the background.

Yet another thing the Nazi’s did, except now you’re using computers. Fucking mind-blowing innovation.
AbidanYre@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
How delays and connecting flights are handled could also change. Under the technology being developed, passengers who miss connecting flights due to delays out of their control could automatically be sent a notification on their phones with details of their new onward flight. Their journey pass would automatically update and they would be allowed to board the new flight.
This is the only part of that whole thing that sounds any good.
stealth_cookies@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
This isn’t new though, I landed after a long flight last year and had a notification asking me to confirm rebooking to another flight because mine was delayed.
Turns out that no the flight wasn’t delayed and luckily I mentioned it when dropping my bag because a person had to sort it out for me and rebooked me back on my original flight that was on time. So now I don’t trust the technology at all.
Tanoh@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It says “could” not “will”, so they will just never implement that part.

The airport tried that shit on me today. I was able to make it print me a boarding pass, though.
I’m becoming a luddite in my middle age.

They can’t even reliably scan a QR code, how can they pull that off with 100% accuracy?
IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Y’all know the: “Please remove item from the bagging area” “Please wait for an attendent”
But instead of self-check-outs, its airport security.
“Face not recognized, please wait for an agent”
You’ll wait 5 hours, you get strip-searched by border agents, and your plane already left, and no refunds.

halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
To be fair the bagging area issue is usually caused by a bad configuration, and usually weight based, not camera recognition.

TSA in the States has already pulled it off. they use sources they already have like your current and past passport and ID photos for verification and do not store the pic they take when crossing TSA. that’s what the signs say at least. I guess it’s good enough for them already…
