Literally shoot me if this becomes a reality. I don't want my ability to travel to be dependent on something with a steadily dying battery.
If anything, I wish they made passports into the size of a regular ID so it fits in a wallet/cardholder and you don’t have to worry about it getting folded or wet. Make visas and stamps digital so a chip scan of the card provides all the info, instead of eye/face recognition/tracking.
If you are in America, you can get a passport card!
The link also mentions you can use it in place of other id cards in domestic flights, but I've heard some TSA agents don't believe it exists.
Certainly not as useful as a full blown passport, but it is a thing. I am hoping it gets more usage over time.
