'ditching paper boarding passes would lead to “faster, smarter, and greener” travel.'
Yeah I want to see the "green" analysis on that.
And it's more common than not for commercial apps to run in the background and send endless tracking requests even after you close the app.

These are questions only psychopaths ask. Like why should there be laws, rules, codes of ethics, things like “morality”? Why shouldn’t people just say & do whatever they want to & consequences? What is that?

Older customer I spoke with: “People need to have more babies.”
Me: “Young people need affordable housing. Where are they going to raise their kids.”
Her: “They should build affordable housing but I don’t want condos or apartments in MY neighborhood!”

Mine has been a mix. For instance, there’s a woman who goes around collecting aluminum can out of bins. My wife and several other families starting collecting them for her. But one lady called the cops on her, and it wasn’t even her trash bin. Most everyone ganged up on said Karen.
