So last week we talked about my first attempt at using IDs and Apple wallet at the airport. So I was flying out of BWI here in Baltimore. And I went through TSA, used my ID on my iPhone instead of my physical ID. And I explained the process that I did, which was I double clicked the side button to invoke like the Apple Pay screen, tapped on my ID and then tapped it on

the TSA reader. Then a share sheet style pop-up appeared on the iPhone where I had to approve the

release of my info to TSA. Then it was all, then it was done. That was the process. We got some

feedback on Mastodon from Peter, who outlined that there's actually,

or there have been two different ways to do this. So what he called the old way, you unlock your

iPhone and hold it near the reader, then the reader automatically pulls up your ID from Apple Wallet,

then you see that TSA share sheet consent pop up and you authenticate and you release your

ID info to the TSA agent. And the consent sheet part can be done not holding your phone still

on the reader. So you just hold the phone on the reader to start. Then you could bring it back to your

hand. So it's kind of emulating like touch ID style Apple Pay purchases, right?

Where you touch ID and your thing as you bring you,

because they changed it, right?

In the old, the double click thing was added for face ID, right?

So before face ID, you could just put your finger on the home button and then put your

phone on the pad and it would do the purchase, right?

Because it certainly came with a fingerprint. Obviously, when they did the face ID era of iPhone Stein and

the iPhone 10 they changed the the Apple pay process so you double you double click that does the

face ID and then you hold to the reader to confirm so they kind of like inverted it so what

you're describing there is almost like the touch ID equivalent. Obviously it's modern.

So that was the old way that Peter described.

And then he says that that's how Apple described the process until a few months ago on their website.

And they updated their support docs with the new way.
