I agree. We should never hand over an unlocked device. However, this cannot be used for border crossings. It’s basically a “shortcut” for domestic air travel rather than having to present your passport.

Does this require handing an unlocked phone to law enforcement? My understanding is it’s using NFC.

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029.

In my opinion, the 2nd most important election this November (after CA Redistricting) is the trio of Pennsylvania State Supreme Court retention elections.
Many in PA are unaware, and we need to fix that.
All 3 Justices MUST be retained.
