Passengers will also be able to upload their passports to their phone and travel through airports using their face for verification. Instead of manually checking in, which would let airlines know who intends to board their flights, airlines will instead be alerted when passengers arrive at the airport and their face is scanned.

Doggone US carriers for shutting down the 3g network. I'd love to see the TSA goons try to install their crap in my old Maemo phone.

Then you won’t be able to fly. Easy as that.
