Don't worry I believe you.
Yes, and what do they do next year after they've just given Elon a pile of cash? What happens in 10 years time?
Or do you suggest that giving $21b till the end of time is a good idea?
I never said it should be. At this stage, if I've lost my phone it would make sense that I need to phone the consulate and have my old passport revoked as it was stored on there. What they do then is a risk decision based upon the issuing government.
Once I've done that, (I would assume) I need to prove my identity through copies of my old passport, biometrics or whatever the embassy / consulate / high commission needs to prove my identity, before I can download another one. By the time that they implement all that though, biometrics and other information might be strong enough that this can be automated.
With the state of technology now, what's happening with phone theft and financial fraud, I would say that I wouldn't trust a phone by itself to be a sole arbitrator of a person's identity, there would need to be another factor for authentication, but perhaps technology will change where the whole screen will become a hand / palm reader? Maybe it will be good enough in the near future. I don't know what's going to happen in 10 years time....
I was actually wondering if this was Dr.Bob / jcr in disguise...
The US passport card is limited because it's not a ICAO 9303 compliant identity document.
So why is your argument to leave your passport at home next time if you know it hasn't already been done?
When digital passports are made public (Which they aren't at the moment) I happily will.
In the same way that if I lost my card, I'd have to call my bank, if I lost my phone (Or my physical passport!) I'd still have to call the consulate... So yeah, sure, not a bother. That's the point.
At that point, I might have to get an emergency passport (Which don't have chips typically) to get home, or just buy a replacement phone and download my passport and off I go again!
I don't see why you're being so argumentative. Things change.
