To talk about digital ID and how iPhone users can add a digital version of their passport to

their iPhones, and then in a very different version of the story how

the EU and UK are requiring citizens there to have a very different and much more potentially

dangerous version of digital ID. Good morning to you, Fisher. Good morning. A lot of pressure there.

Yeah, I don't have too high a bar for you. So let's talk about the practical and safe use of digital ID, and that's the Apple version.

Apple has this really cool feature now, a digital ID for wallet.

Yeah, and Google has the same.

And with both Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, you can now load your passport, your United States passport, into this wallet. And if you've used Apple Pay, and if you're in the city, you've used it probably on the subway, right? Or buses with Omni. So it's really easy, really simple. You double click a button on the side of your watch or your phone. You tap to pay. The ID is the same thing.

And what's great about this, and it's, you know, New York has its driver's license in an app at this point.

New Jersey's passed legislation to have their driver's license mobile.

Connecticut and Pennsylvania is still up in the air as to where that is.

Having your passport allows you to go through the airport using an ID where you can tap.

And if you've been to an airport lately, you have your regular lines, you have your TSA

pre-check lines, you have your clear, you have all that, but there's a digital ID line.

And normally they do facial recognition.

And some people don't like that.
