Apple's new iPhone Passport feature – should travelers use it? I'm seeking advice from credentialed tech, security/privacy, and travel experts regarding the newly announced feature that will allow iPhone users to upload their passports to their Apple Wallets starting this fall. This article will explain the new feature and address whether storing one's passport in their Apple Wallet is a good (and safe) idea, weighing the pros and cons and answering questions travelers might have. (What if I lose my phone? Do I need to worry about my data being compromised? Etc.) I'm also looking for general advice and lesser-known tips for other ways to make airport travel a more seamless experience (for instance, services/apps like CLEAR, which can help travelers get through TSA PreCheck more quickly).
